Organic=Wrapped in Plastic???

I was shopping for groceries tonight at Sobeys and was looking for produce since I was away for the weekend and wasn't able to get to the Farmer's Market. I try to buy as much organic food as our budget will allow so I checked out the organic produce section. Much to my dismay, I discovered that it's all wrapped in plastic! The organic celery was even nicely cleaned and slices into sticks...in a plastic bag. Now this may sound convenient, but part of the reason that I buy organic is that it's grown in a way that is healthier for the environment. So having my environmentally-friendly produce wrapped in plastic is accomplishing what exactly? Sigh...

New Blog- First Post

Hello blog-readers!
Just a place to put all my greenness/crunchiness on the web. There'll be recipes and stuff. Probably a few rants, and a bit about what I'm doing for the environment and my family's health.
