Earth Day is this Saturday, April 22. There are lots of great ways that you can help support our environment this week and beyond. Throughout the week, don’t forget one of the big ways that you demonstrate your commitment to sustainability: your Boston Organics box. By choosing to buy organic, you say no to polluting synthetic pesticides and fertilizers and yes to farming practices that help promote soil and environmental health while keeping carbon in the soil. Keep yourself nourished as you take some extra steps in the spirit of Earth Day, and enjoy the bounty of your box and the planet.
