Stay healthy and eco-friendly this summer by reading up on the latest findings from Greenpeace, Environmental Working Group, and organic food activists. They’ll show you what’s really in your organic food, where to shop for seafood, and which lip balm to buy.
>> Is Trader Joe’s depleting our oceans? Greenpeace just released Carting Away the Oceans: How Grocery Stores are Emptying the Seas, which scores grocery stores on their fish purchasing policies on their sustainability. Among national grocery chains, Trader Joe’s came in dead last — doing worse than Target and Wal-Mart. Now, Trader Joe’s a target for Greenpeace’s latest campaign: Traitor Joe’s.
>> Does organic really mean organic? According to The Washington Post, the integrity of the USDA organic label’s coming under question now that many non-organic ingredients are allowed to be included in organic products. The good news is that the Obama administration has pledged more money and better oversight to improve the integrity of the organic label.
>> Is your lipbalm protecting you from the sun? According to the new and improved 2009 Sunscreen Guide from Environmental Working Group, 2 of 5 lip balms don’t quite do their job. Check the list to see what lip balms — as well as sunscreens and moisturizers — will keep you safe this summer.
