When I attended your recent National Forum in Denver, we had a lunchtime conversation on this very topic. I mentioned that while I applaud the work of EWG, and use their resources often, I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating ‘clean’ produce while knowing that others have likely suffered harmful effects in growing it or that it may be causing harm to ecosystems and drinking water. So I ALWAYS buy organic, or go without. I didn’t know that you were listening in at the next table. ;-)

Thanks again for this, and all the work that you folks at Beyond Pesticides do!

Dona
