Would you care to have a hand in seeing pesticides disappear from 98 million daily servings of drinking water?

This is what Mission Organic 2010 is proposing.

Mission Organic 2010 is an project forged by The Organic Trade Association and  is a much-needed effort to increase by 10% the amount of organic food eaten by the year 2010.  You can help by spending your food dollars in the direction of Organics.

“Going organic” means better health for you and your family. It also means better health for our planet and our farm animals.

It’s really very simple.  When we, as consumers, demand the organic supply, farmers and food companies will supply the organic demand. The result? Healthier people and a healthier planet.

You can impact your health and that of your family, along with millions of others, especially infants, children and seniors.

Organic crops are not treated with synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Animals on organic farms are not given hormones and drugs to promote more rapid growth. Genetically modified organisms are not used on any organic farms.

Organic food is safer and more nutritious.  They are of higher quality because of the way organic farmers care for their land and their animals, and most of all, organic foods taste better.

To publicly announce your commitment to make at least a tenth of your eating choices organic, visit Mission Organic 2010 at:  www.mo2010.org
