Grow Organics

 

Dear Supporter,

 

Are you satisfied with having just 3% of the fruit you eat free of

potentially dangerous pesticides? How about 2% of vegetables? Or less than 0.02%

of

corn?

 

Right now, those are the percentages of organic produce available in grocery

stores. The EWG Action Fund is working with Congress to make sure organic

farmers get their fair share of federal funds to improve access to healthy

alternatives.

You can help right now by signing our Grow Organics petition.

Despite terrific gains in organic farming, the numbers are just too small to

lessen agriculture's impact on public health and the environment.

By signing the petition

ion_KEY=630 , you will be urging Congress to:

 

 

--- Improve your family's access to safe food that is free of harmful

pesticides and hormones.

--- Help more farmers make the transition to organic farming.

--- Level the playing field for the organic industry by devoting a fair share

of resources to organic pest control and crop nourishment.

We will deliver the petition and thousands of signatures to the House and

Senate Agriculture Committees. As Congress rewrites the Farm Bill, members need

to hear from thousands of concerned citizens across the country demanding an

increase in organics funding -- add your voice today.
