But once again in my view green and organic go hand in hand anyway wether you want them to or not. How can you be "green" but be happy to buy air freighted organic food or local pesticide ridden food? And if you class yourself as "organic" if its for health reasons your still helping the environment(if buying food not air freighted). And if you buy organic because you want to support environmental welfare you are definately being green. Therefore organic and green go hand in hand. Either you embrace them together or you're quite possibly being a hypocrite (not aimed at you Snadger,its aimed at no one,just a generalisation).
How can organic and green go hand in hand when buying foreign organic produce then?
