Think More + Use Less #3: the "Dirty Dozen"

After reading yesterday's blog, were you inspired to go out and buy some organic food?!  If you were, you probably noticed (as if you didn't already know!) that organic foods carry a higher price tag than mass produced conventionally grown food. Bit of a downer, huh?

Don't worry.  If we all start consuming and demanding organic food the prices will naturally fall. It's basic supply and demand Economics and a long term process; but that isn't what this blog is about. What this blog is all about is presenting you, our reader, with information from Mo' Green on how to think more + use less = live life green.  So here's today's helpful tip: 

When trying to go organic make smarter choices. Mo' knows times are tough but if you've got a few dollars to spare try buying one or two organic products each time you go to the grocery store. The chart below will show you the "dirty dozen"- a list of 12 foods with the highest amount of pesticide reside and the "Clean 15"- a list of 15 foods with the least amount of pesticides.

A quick way to remember which foods to go organic on are tree fruits, berries and leafy greens.
