The No.1 reason to go Organic? Your health!
GOING GREEN is common sense! But as you may know, common sense is not common. For an example let's look at pesticides used on fruit and vegetable crops. Now pesticides is only one example I'm going mention here. But there are many other nasties such as genetically modified foods and harmful chemicals (preservatives, colourants) in our food to name but a few. I'm just sticking to pesticides for now. What can you do? GOING GREEN AND ORGANIC is about doing many things differently. It's about reducing your carbon footprint, conserving energy (electricity) where you can and recycling your waste.
One of the first and easiest steps, is to start shopping responsibly. I like to call it conscious shopping. Think about this. Commercial viability depends on supply and demand. If we as consumers increase the demand for organic produce retailers will start listening. But we have to take action and stop buying conventional products and start buying and insisting on organic or natural products. There are also specialist organic and natural shops and farmers markets where you can buy organic or natural produce. Those farmers markets are quite delightful on sunny Saturday mornings. Perfect for a healthy family outing.
Shop Online for Organic Products
Why not take it one step further and buy organic goodies online. It's safer, you don't have to drive and find parking and negotiate your way past the car guard. It's fast and easy. And most physical stores only have limited products while online shops have almost every kind of organic product available most of the time and they can source them for you.

This is what previous course participants have said about this workshop:
Thank you for a wonderful morning, I learnt so much and really enjoyed it. It was great to meet you and to have such a knowledgeable raw food person to learn from and take inspiration from. I found that the information presented was practical and especially enjoyed the slide shows which illustrated exactly how to go about the sprouting. Kind regards, Deborah
'I never imagined raw food could taste so good, my taste buds were truly tantalised and my body felt immediate benefits! Thank you Serna you are a raw inspiration.' Ryre
I have to tell you your Introduction to Raw food workshop was awesome. I never thought I would drink almond milk, but now I might consider indulging in almonds more often. The workshop was both informative and interesting. Will start small with regards to implementing it in my life but it was an eye opener realising that food could still be yummies without the cooking process. Thanks, Claudette.
