Chief Seattle was not talking about the World Wide Web when he made the statement below
but meant instead “linked together”, like the spider’s web. Everything we do to the earth effects us
all. We cannot escape it’s effects any more than we can escape from the chemicals that we are
using on this planet!

“Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”
Chief Seattle 1856

People want to be able to say, “I am helping the earth by not using any chemicals that pollute her.
” Actions and words are not the same. People do far more damage to the earth than they realize!

For many years I have been saying, “Be careful of what you use and what goes into the earth”.
Even if chemical companies say it’s safe and that it breaks down into harmless compounds, do
not believe them! Scientists are finding that these harmless compounds do indeed get together
with other so called harmless compounds to form much deadlier compounds, which not only
harm humans but all wildlife they meet!

Researchers say substances that have little effect on sex hormones individually become much
more potent when combined! The unexpected results mean safety standards are inadequate.
Does this sound familiar? Animals in the wild are being effected at a tremendous rate. Animals
like the Florida alligator and Great lakes’ birds are being born with exceedingly high estrogen
levels. These animals are being born sometimes with both male and female organs! They cannot
mate and their line (species) will die!

This is due to chemicals that we use; from pesticides, to fertilizers, to everyday household
items, to the medicine we use. All chemicals can have disastrous effects on wildlife and on humans
as well! We must learn to control the use of these chemicals. We must learn to use organically
safe chemicals that Mother Nature herself has tested for us. We must stop using chemicals that
pollute ourselves, our children, our wildlife before it’s too late. So the next time you reach for
that spray bottle of ———, think about it. Do you have to use this? Is there another way?

This article has the goal of helping you to choose the organic method over the
chemical method.

It can be done 100% organically. It can be done and it does work! Please do not give in to
the chemicals (did you know that beer has over 72 chemicals in it)?! Think of your children
and the mess we are leaving them to handle. Think of the wildlife we are destroying by using
these chemicals. Think about the ingredients of what you want to buy before you buy it! Ask
yourself do I know what this stuff will do to the earth? If you do not have an answer, don’t use
it! If you do not buy it, they won’t make it!

By following the 5 R’s...Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replant, and Rethink; we will help the
Earth to Heal herself and us!

Since 1972
Happy Growing Organically of course!
