Re: Green Beans!

We do have an organic box (The Organic Pantry - Boxes ), we also visit the local farmers' market and we grow a fair amount of our own! But sometimes you have to go to the supermarket ... also, of course, *most* people use supermarkets (many have no choice) so it's important to keep an eye on what they're up to.
Some supermarkets aren't so bad - Waitrose, for instance does a lot of stuff which is not only organic but, where appropriate, fair-traded or locally produced so I like to use them from time to time for encouragement!

My one also delivers bread from a local old style baker and refills and returns Ecover bottles to my door. T'other good thing is you don't have to think about what to buy each week Peace of mind for doing very little
