Green Lifestyle, Organic Agriculture and Organic

Speaking Greenish: Part one
Speaking multiple languages is an amazing asset and ability. Knowing English and Spanish offers many opportunities, but do you know Greenish? Going True Green or just going Green speaks with an entirely new vocabulary and many of us don't know the meanings behind the words. Over the next few weeks you will see postings for this multiple part topic called Speaking Greenish. Just having these explanations will make going green much easier.

Lesson One: Do you know what Green Lifestyle, Organic Agriculture and Organic mean?

Green Lifestyle or Living Green has become a way of life for over 100 million people at the end of this century's first decade. They have a set of environmental goals and concerns toward their health, food, water, activities, purchases, energy consumption and environment. These goals and concerns guide the way they live. Have you reviewed your list of goals, your concerns? If not for you, perhaps for your children's children?
organic agriculture, organic, organic food stuff
Farm land should leach out all chemicals for at least 3 years to grow organic food.
Organic Agriculture and Organic have several guidelines and rules. For land to be classified as organic, at least three years must go by for all chemical pesticides and fertilizers to leach out of the soil. According to the USDA National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), organic agriculture is "an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain, or enhance ecological harmony. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people."
Now while that definition is a mouth full, this is what everyone really needs to know:

Using the word ORGANIC is based upon the law that defines the word. Supermakets have seen organic products increase in sales by 18% between 2008 and 2010. HOWEVER, also for sale are products with labels stating ECO FRIENDLY or ALL NATURAL which means some organic steps are used in producing the food, but there is no guarantee. For example, some synthetic chemicals may have been used in the animals feed or production.

One additional note on the word Organic. While this term signifies no pesticides or chemical fertilizers, the word also stands for the way any food stuff are grown, processed, distributed and sold. Sold means no plastic wrappers with BPAs. Alas, that is another blog.

Tomorrow I have meetings all day, so I will write part two on Speaking Greenish Thursday. The terms will be Recycling and Gray Water. Take care one and all.

Bill Lauto, GTG

    Bill Lauto, Environmentalist, Energy Consultant
    Bill Lauto came on the scene in 1981 to present facts and teach details about how we can save our environment without making  sacrifices. He demonstrated how correctly implementing the technology we already obtained in 1981, allowed us to save Money, Energy and Earth. He voice was one among the few who taught green facts long before anyone else talked about Going Green. 
       Bill Lauto's Credentials
    By 1994 the Internet was being explored as a tool to provide energy saving information to all of America by Mr. Lauto. Having the foresight, he first launched the Light Bulb HotLine web site off of the company's Domain in 1996. Then in April of 2001, EnergyHotwire.com became a resource. Today,
    GoingTrueGreen.com has joined in to help dispel the mis-information and provide the facts about truly Going Green.
