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.
