Help Grow Organics

June 12th, 2007

The Environmental Working Group is collecting signatures to encourage Congress to support the growth of organic farming in this year’s Farm Bill.

Here’s the text of the online petition:

I support EWG Action Fund’s efforts to increase funding for organic farming.

I believe Congress should level the playing field for organic farmers to expand access to safe, healthy organic food that is free of potentially harmful pesticides and genetic modification. I urge our national leaders to include strong organics provisions in this year’s Farm Bill that will:

> Give organic farmers their fair share of my tax dollars for research on how to grow organic food.
> Help more farmers make the transition to organic farming.
> Level the playing field for the organic industry by devoting a fair share of resources to organic pest control and crop nourishment.

I stand with the EWG Action Fund in urging Congress to Grow Organics now.
