At EatIt.ca, an online organic store, co-owner Sabrina Longobardi agrees finding local suppliers is a challenge. "Every year there's a new batch (of growers) that comes out of the woodwork, and they're really excited and gung-ho," she said. "But you find a lot of them, they're just not ready to move to the next level. It's kind of the same philosophy overall," he said. "There's the whole issue of which is better to support, California organic or non-organic local? One is not using chemicals, but the other one is not being shipped halfway across the country. We're trying to balance the two." [Lori Ann Regnier]'s experience is often a reality in an industry with high overhead costs and a slim profit margin. But she's committed to seeing her farm bringing in a profit. "I see it growing,"...

Concerns over the health effects of chemicals in pesticides and fertilizers have led some farmers back to a natural (or organic) method of farming. Back in the good old days, everyone was an "organic" farmer. The problem with today's "organic" labelling is that the definition and subsequent certification varies from region to region. Chances are that ancient Greeks and Romans didn't suffer from as many headaches from wine as we do today; with weaker immune systems and the addition of sulfites to wines as a preservative, we are far more prone to such allergic reactions. Since sulfites occur naturally in grape skins and stems, it's nearly impossible to find a sulfite-free wine; however, most wineries (organic and otherwise) add sulfites of some sort for shipping and preserving, a snag for...

The chemicals accumulate in the environment up through the food chain and stay in people's bodies, said Donald Cooper, executive secretary to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPs. The alarm over the original chemicals was sounded because they were being found in high concentrations in the fatty tissues and blood of the Inuit Indians in Canada, even though they were thousands of kilometres away from the production or use of any of the chemicals, Cooper said. These chemicals transit boundaries. They are found everywhere in the world," Cooper said.

[Anne Steinemann]'s study focused on six widely used products: dryer sheets, fabric softener, laundry detergent, a liquid spray air freshener, a plug-in air freshener, and a solid disc deodorizer used in commercial-airplane toilets. A contract laboratory sealed each product inside a container, then used two types of instruments to identify chemicals emitted into the air. Collectively, the six products gave off nearly 100 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including acetone -- the eye-stinging ingredient in nail-polish remover and paint thinner. (VOCs are compounds that vaporize easily, like paint and gasoline fumes. Many VOCs are known to be harmful.) Among them are three chemicals the Environmental Protection Agency considers "hazardous air pollutants" with no safe exposure levels: ace...
