this is a life long goal-I have actually been doing this since I was a teenager. I am from a rural area and buying locally is just a way of life and I read a book talking about how toxic our food is and to buy organic so I have been combining them(buying locally and organic) for a long time now. It amazes me how much things have changed-when I first started I had to drive an hour to find organic food and the selection was scarce and really expensive-now I can get it at my local United(alot, anyway) and it is alot cheaper. Where we spend out money, what we demand to be available-this is where we have our real power. I put this as a goal because since I have been doing it so long it was nice to remind myself how important this is and to be mindful and I love reading what other people are doing-there are such great people on 43 things.
