What it Means to Buy Organic Products
Posted on October 14, 2009 by grandstrandorganics
Organic products may not be a priority to some people, but there is one thing that cannot be disagreed upon. Fertilizers are not used with these products which is always a benefit when it comes to pollutants that enter our rivers, lakes and streams.
I came across this article today and wanted to share it with all of you. It was posted on Beauty Salon Glasgow in August of 2007 but it is just as true today as it was then. Their title of the article is “What Does it Mean if you Buy Organic Products” so I shortened it slightly. It’s a fairly long article, but very clear and informative. You might reallly enjoy reading it. Here is the link: http://beautysalonglasgow.com/anti-wrinkle/what-does-it-mean-if-you-buy-organic-products/

Reduce Catalog Mailings to Save Trees and More
Posted on October 11, 2009 by grandstrandorganics
Row of Mailboxes
Yes, the Christmas Catalog frenzy has already begun. Every day another one, two, or dozen catalogs arrive in our mailbox. Maybe in yours as well! But you can stop much of that waste by using http://www.CatalogChoice.org for FREE! I know this sounds too good to be true, but take a look… It is true!
Over a million people are already using this free service. Yes, the website shows advertising. Yes, they do ask for donations. Yes, you can support them by shopping from their site. But they do NOT charge any kind of fee for using their service and lowering wasteful catalog mailings.
Here is their Mission Statement copied from the website:
The mission of Catalog Choice is to reduce the number of repeat and unwanted catalog mailings, and to promote the adoption of sustainable industry best practices. We aim to accomplish this by freely providing the Catalog Choice Mail Preference Service to both consumers and businesses. Consumers can indicate their mail preference for catalogs, and sign up for Email news, and businesses can receive the lists in a secure manner so that they can efficiently honor the requests.
Right now Catalog Choice is celebrating their second anniversary with over 1,000 merchants’ catalogs participating. If you don’t see a catalog you want stopped, just suggest it. And the site lets you also sign up for email catalogs and/or find products you are seeking to purchase. They also have plans to expand their services to include other types of mail and possibly even email.
Catalog Choice is a sponsored project of the Ecology Center. It is endorsed by the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, and funded by the Overbrook Foundation, the Merck Family Fund, the Kendeda Fund, the Weeden Foundation and the Mead Foundation.
So jump in here and do your part. We all benefit from less junk mail!

Safe Cosmetics Video
Posted on September 10, 2009 by grandstrandorganics
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, which was created by the Environmental Working Group, has just published a brand new video called “What’s Going on with Toxic Chemicals in Cosmetics?” It’s worth watching and sharing!
The video features Mia, the grassroots coordinator for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. If you can help out financially, THIS is a link for making a contribution to the Environmental Working Group. Or if you can devote a little time to support this grassroots effort, THIS is a link to actions you can take for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

Organic is more nutritious
Posted on September 3, 2009 by grandstrandorganics
You may remember the report last month from Great Britain claiming that Organic food was no more nutritious than other foods. Most of us were pretty sure that was wrong. But it’s good to see in print a good authority disputing that observation.
The major points of The French Agency for Food Safety study are:
- Organic plant products contain more dry matter (more nutrient dense)
- Have higher levels of minerals
- Contain more anti-oxidants such as phenols and salicylic acid (known to protect against cancers, heart disease and many other health problems)
- Organic animal products contain more polyunsaturated fatty acids (protect against heart disease)
- Carbohydrate, protein and vitamin levels are insufficiently documented
- 94–100% of organic foods do not contain any pesticide residues
- Organic vegetables contain far less nitrates, about 50% less (high nitrate levels are linked to a range of health problems including diabetes and Alzheimer’s)
- Organic cereals contain similar levels of mycotoxins as conventional ones
You can read the the news article on this report at Foodmag.com.au with a commentary from Andre Leu, Chairman of the Organic Federation of Australia. Or you can access the full scientific report at http://swroc.cfans.umn.edu/organic/ASD_Lairon_2009.pdf
The positive characteristics of organic food also apply to personal care products made with USDA Certified Organic ingredients such our MiEssence products. Good news for all!

Because we are all connected
Posted on September 3, 2009 by grandstrandorganics
I just got this in a Tweet from OrganicFest, which is an organic festival in Ashville, NC next weekend. It’s a terrific video and couldn’t resist sharing it.
This video (on YouTube) is a charming little cartoon totally suitable for everyone, even small children. It’s done by the World Wildlife Fund, but they aren’t pushy at promoting themselves. They just state at the end that this is the business of http://wwf.org I really love this! Hope you like it, too!

ONEgroup Announces Price Increase
Posted on September 1, 2009 by grandstrandorganics
Today we received notification from ONEgroup that their prices will increase on October 1, 2009. This increase will include organic products under the MiEssence and MiEnviron brand names.
The published statement from ONEgroup has in it the following details:
“From 1 October 2009, prices on ONEgroup products will increase by 3.5% excluding essential oils, nutritional products and mother & baby products… Why? Over the past 18 months (we haven’t raised our prices for over two years), the cost of our ingredients have risen between 3% and 5% mainly due to fuel cost increases and fair-trade labour policies.”
We wanted to let you know right away so that you could consider purchasing for your needs this month at the current prices. It might even be a good idea to purchase for Christmas Gifts early this year.
Shop at our storefront: http://www.GrandStrandOrganics.com or call us at 843-236-2607. Thanks!
