Is there really a big difference between organically and conventionally grown produce?

Opt For Organic

Buy organic food whenever possible and help preserve the farming community, and your health! Organic farmers use mulching instead of chemical weed control and composting instead of chemical fertilizers. This helps reduce the toxic burden on soil and water. Organic farming also tends to be more labor than machine-intensive, so it's less dependent on fossil fuels than most conventional farming. According to the Care2 environmental network, organic farms use 70% less energy than industrial farms.
