good job friend!
YES~ it is worth it.
NO~ not everything you buy has to be organic~ i wish I could afford that!
but this list 'the dirty dozen' does help with what truly IS important.
Also, spring is on the way! You don't need big space, grow some of your own fruits & veggies!
    It is so much fun! =o)

I thought it was a good article... specially now that the economy is so rough and I've had to cut back on somethings. It shows you why organic is important and what you should be concerned with..

Hey girl, I remember you had posted this a while back. I'm looking into joining a buying club... they deliver in Homestead on Tuesdays. You can choose to purchase weekly or bi-weekly. I think it's worth it.
