As I was looking for the most recent organic news, I came across this website.  I had bookmarked it for further research, but now I had some time to really read through the site.  The Organic Consumer’s Association has started a campaign called “Breaking the Chains”  (BTC). Basically, the BTC campaign sums up the reasons to support local, organic, and Fair trade products and businesses. 

For a long time now agribusiness, chain stores, and sweatshops have been ruining our economy and our health. But what do you do if you aren’t familiar with local resources?  Try searching through Local Harvest , a site designed to help you find your local suppliers. Surprisingly enough, when I looked at my area I found at least a dozen places I didn’t know about.  I will be making some visits in the next few weeks to check out these resources.

Take some time to look at BTC’s explanations and resources and let me know what you think.
