How to buy organic products
"It feels best knowing I'm doing something good for my body and for the earth."
How I did it: I started by purchasing little things like organic/natural cosmetics, such as Burt's Bees or Aveda. Drinking organic coffee was fairly easy being a Starbucks employee, where you have your choice of Shade Grown Mexico or Serena blend. (Although most Starbucks coffees are grown ethically and organically, we just don't require that our farmers pay for the USDA and/or Fair Trade certification.) The most difficult part for me was purchasing organic groceries. Shopping at WholeFoods isn't very realistic for a college student working in a coffee shop. Although now that Meijer's has it's own certified organic line, it's become much more affordable and I'm slowly integrating organic foods into my cupboards and fridge.
