Organic farming is a double edge sword: because yields are lower, far more arable land is used to produce comparable crop yields to GMO foods. Organic vs. GMO crops is a highly complex issues that requires endless and constant research, and yields no black-and-white, easy-to-digest (pun intended) answers. 

I help maintain an organic vegetable garden of usual offenders: Kale, tomatoes, herbs, squash, cucumber, you name it! 

My sister cans pickles semi-annually, which I enjoy throughout the year. Boom! 

By sharing 2.2k square feet with three other people in a house with a brand-new energy efficient furnace, new windows, and new insulation, my household is doing it's part to conserve energy in our zip code. 

I'm guilty of using vegetable bags! :( some fruits and veggies may not need a bag but I guess I could look into buying smaller reusable bags for these items (such as broccoli, cauliflower, grapes etc)

I usually always have a large purse so I just put my items in my purse and/or carry my items out.. I can proudly say that I have always been really good about using reusable bags. I try my hardest to not use plastic or paper bags from the stores. I will also buy reusable bags if I need to.
