  Coming around

  As the child of lapsed organic gardeners I have consumed far too much ... well, everything bad.  And when the bad started effecting my wife, we made the change and my post-hippie Republican parents gave us a pretty hard time about it all, even threatening to take our dairy-issues daughter to McDonald's for a milkshake.  Thanks, Pa.  And now, 5 years later, they're starting to raise grass-fed beef and recommending Sally Fallon books.  There is hope yet!On When will the American public get snobby already? posted 1 year, 5 months ago 17 Responses

  Green suds from the Big Box

  Also - buying from a "regular" store - Costco, Sam's Club/Wal*Mart (shudder) and the like, tells them back at corporate that there's a market for this stuff and makes they stock more eco/green/hip products.  It's like buying the organic produce from the regular store (only when you can't get it locally, of course).  And don't hesitate to ask management if they have it, or can get it (probably can).  And if we all keep asking and buying and making noise, the organic, green, sustainable product selection will grow.On Umbra on buying eco-products in bulk posted 1 year, 5 months ago 17 Responses
