To me avoiding eating pesticides is reason enough to eat organic...but the idea that we would be conserving oil...perhaps reducing violent conflicts over resources...as well...is even more reason to eat organic.<BR/><BR/>We had a cooking class in New Orleans and the instructor gave a statistic that everyone ate organic even once a week it vastly reduces the amount of petroleum oil use of the whole planet. Maybe Mister anchovy remembers the exact figure, I don't.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-20477273987150551642007-10-29T12:51:00.000-04:002007-10-29T12:51:00.000-04:00I have to say I have never tried anything organic ...I have to say I have never tried anything organic but have been told its better for you.

And these jackasses would always try to pass or goad the Greyhound buses...with 40 passengers!<BR/><BR/>People in the burbs or remote areas get a bit of a walk when it comes to pressure for public transit...but city goers give me a break at least take public transit one or two days a week?! It's lovely you can read a magazine or novel on the way to destinations...Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-75131539166181467922007-10-28T14:19:00.000-04:002007-10-28T14:19:00.000-04:00Thanks for the great links - I'll be back to do so...Thanks for the great links - I'll be back to do some reading. <BR/><BR/>For public transport, we're either going to have to force the government to take it seriously and begin to find ways to provide it - I suppose we could as well on a grass roots level do it on a privatized level (somehow) - but most of the country where I have lived - its just not available. A lot of people I think would be happy to be free of car payments, insurance, and upkeep if public transport was available - let alone the issue of environmental damage.Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.com
