Organic Food.
Saw this - it is quite funny:5 ways people are trying to save the world that don't work
I have never believed in organic food. Asking me to buy food that has no significantly proven health, safety and environmental benefits but is twice as expensive sounds too much like a gimmick designed to con people who don't know what to do with their money.
And I always have this idea that there is more bacteria dotting organically produced food than conventional food. Since the US soak their chicken in chlorine to make sure that they are contaminant-free, probably they might have to soak organic chicken or even organic lettuce in a higher concentration of chlorine :|
Read this abstract:
Organic food: buying more safety or just peace of mind? A critical review of the literature.
Support locally grown/produced food though! Not only it reduces the carbon footprint of the food, it can also contribute positively to the local economy, and needless to say, the food has a higher likelihood to be more fresh. Haha we buy Maryland eggs and Maryland milk cos they are the cheapest.
I support recycling though. Hmm if recycling requires more staff and a higher cost to process the trash, it isn't necessarily a bad thing - it creates more jobs?
