  To Buy or Not to Buy Organic

  I just finished reading "To Buy or Not to Buy Organic," by Cindy Burke.  She addresses exactly this question and also talks at length about considering distance traveled, or "food miles," when deciding whether to buy conventional or organically grown groceries.  The book includes a very helpful shoppers guide.  I highly recommend it.On Umbra on prioritizing organic purchases posted 2 years, 3 months ago 10 Responses

  Try Swheat Scoop Litter...

  We've got one cat who will pee in the toilet when no other option is available, but the other one was a hopeless case.

  We've been flushing Swheat Scoop Litter for 5 years at our house with no problems at all.  According to the manufacturers, it is "good for the earth."  It's 100% biodegradable, sewer and septic safe (certified, even), 100% compostable, and derived from a renewable resource (wheat).

  In our experience, it works just as well as conventional litter.  Frankly, I was surprised Umbra didn't mention it.On Umbra on kitty litter posted 4 years, 1 month ago 25 Responses
