When I was just starting to try and be green and not quite sure where to start, I had a conversation with a coworker who told me that one good place to start is with what you eat and choosing organic, pesticide-free grown produce, because of all the health hazards you can get from chemicals and toxic sprays used on conventional produce.
With a limited budget, I didn't feel like i could go organic with every fruit and vegetable, so he told me the most important ones were things like strawberries with porous skins and grown close to the ground. These fruits would contain higher percentages of toxic and harmful chemicals. I now only get organic strawberries when they are in season and enjoy their natural juicy, sweet and tangy flavor without harming my body.
