Article from The Organic Advisory Line 1998 An organic grower understands that ecology is not a branch of biology or a speciality within it (like genetic engineering GMO). Ecology is the discipline of seeing the relationship, which exits, throughout the biosphere, our Garden Earth. The organic grower is one who has given up using synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, weedicides and growth hormones. I call these environmental suicides!
Most change towards organic growing on ethical grounds to stop pollution that is harmful to birds, bees and the environment as a whole. Organic Formulations supports this type of organic farming (Modern Sustainable Agriculture) by using organically grown flowers and herbs in the ingredients of all their products. There is much confusion about environmental claims being made by manufacturers. It is important to note that many companies promote themselves as being \'Natural\'. Organic or Earthly usually do not derive their ingredients from organically grown flowers or herbs. Many have the audacity to have up to 95% chemicals in their products that are derived from Coal Tar, Petrochemical by-products and other synthetic ingredients. At times, these can be very toxic. Do not hesitate to compare the ingredients of any product you use and go a little further and ask the manufacturer what the ingredient is?, where it is derived from? and why it is used? I believe it\'s time to lighten up, as we all have heard enough about gloom and destruction. It is well documented that we are more aware of what is needed and it\'s great to know that people didn\'t grow less environmentally conscious during the Recession, all but the reverse. Environmental awareness is just growing and growing at a fantastic rate, it\'s beyond environmentalism. Stopping to look at our past and future, all of us will be making a difference. We are looking at a turnaround for all human beings, as it is very important for us to focus towards True Ecology. |
