Organic is something we can all partake of and benefit from. When we demand organic, we are demanding poison-free food. We are demanding clean air. We are demanding pure, fresh water. We are demanding soil that is free to do its job and seeds that are free of toxins. We are demanding that our children be protected from harm. We all need to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done—buy organic whenever we can, insist on organic, fight for organic and work to make it the norm. We must make organic the conventional choice and not the exception available only to the rich and educated.
There's a lot of research that suggests that organic yields are close or superior to conventional yields depending on factors like climate.

It simply isn't true that organic yields are lower than conventional yields.

Acceptance means focusing on the present while assessing the choices available to you in this moment.
