Why be environmentalists?
In The Green Blog we are always emphasizing the importance of caring for our environment all that we can, try to avoid the pollution to all living beings can enjoy a cleaner planet. We know that the environment is primary, but today we question: why be environmentalists?
In fact, we are thinking of feeding humans. Some time ago, we mentioned some information from producers of Andalusia ecologists explaining what is the contribution of foods to global warming. However, it is not necessary to be a producer ecologist to understand the importance of organic food.
Most consumers are more than happy to buy “green” products. In a recent survey by Shelton Group, the group found that consumers who buy organic products at least occasionally, do more thinking about the money spent wisely to help improve the environment.
A recent British study claims that organic foods are more nutritious than food grown in the traditional way. But this is not what makes the matter. If you want to minimize exposure to pesticides and save money, and we know that products labeled organic will always be healthier. Especially when it comes to fruits and vegetables are those with more residues of pesticides. Some of these products are: peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, strawberries, cherries, cabbage, lettuce, grapes (imported), carrots and pears.
Cleaner products (or at least those that contain fewer pesticide residues) are onions, avocados, sweet corn (frozen), pineapples, mangoes, asparagus, peas (frozen), kiwi, cabbage, eggplants, papayas and watermelons.
You only think about the benefits of a healthy diet have a good reason to be environmentalists. Of course, there are many more reasons and we will comment.
