This Week is National Organic Week, as Canada comes together
to celebrate the illustrious Canadian organic food and materials industry. Organic products can be seen as the most
environmentally friendly option that a consumer has in purchasing both food,
and other products such as organic cotton clothing. By utilizing environmentally friendly farming
techniques, the growth of organic goods causes minimal harm to the
environment. In addition, these
techniques also keep the growing environment fertile, and maintain the quality
of Canadian farmland. When one purchases
organic products, they can be sure that they have undergone a thorough approval
before they are sold on store shelves.
What can you do to celebrate organic week? One way would be to make an active effort to
buy locally produced organic foods. The
BC government is investing money to make locally produced foods more available
to consumers. With the many farms in
Richmond, this provides a great opportunity to begin to purchase locally grown
food. Buying local both supports the
local agriculture sector, and reduces the environmental costs of the transport
of food. Help us celebrate Organic Week.
