diluted, as the terms are organic and organic is now, not later than when shopping in one of the big discounters clear. "Organic vegetables" there is Germany's offered in so big people crowd that force themselves on some issues. A key point: the transport routes. Where are the organic products and ingredients and how big is the market? This is true for vegetables as well as for the beer.
Regional economy is the magic word. Short distances, little environmental pollution. But it works, unfortunately, not always. may be a small example, how evil Bio: An ecologically operating company intends to produce organic lemonade. Instead of using sugar is sweetened with pure organic honey. Sounds good, tastes that way. Ideal for the kids. But the paragraph is going so well that not enough organic honey is available in the region. Not once throughout Germany there are plenty of honey. Salvation comes from New Zealand, where there is need, organic honey. Unfortunately, the honey, some 23,000 kilometers are transported far. The environmental pollution caused by shipping, this is not even the largest The truck has transportation to and create the ports in relative terms, the greatest damage, such as the University of Stuttgart calculated problem. Since then supposed to buy healthy organic vegetables, organic lemonade or organic beer and actually harms the environment and the people far more than we might have done with the purchase of a conventionally produced product. Crazy.
This is not a call to stop encouraging the organic trend. On the contrary: It is the call to buy ecologically valuable food, but not only the content in view. to eat healthy and drink, and harming the environment and people by perverse long transport routes - a very questionable combination.
questions so quiet time after, when you buy organic products. There might also just have a 23,000 km long journey ...
