	My name is Clifford and for some time i have watched as all these violent conflicts all around the world happen just feeling helpless. I started trying to get others to listen and tweet our government to find peaceful ends to the worlds issues and others seemed to feel that it is a futile effort and felt it would be a waste of time. I tweeted every government account i could find pleading with them to end the violent conflicts and even though they followed me on twitter my pleas fell on deaf ears. I was about to give up when this sites creator started to follow me on twitter and when i came to this site my hope received a jump start. To find a whole site of people who want to do what i want to do was invigorating and now even though i and still learning the site and how it works my resolve is back to full power. I also have went out and talked to people about organic legion and recruited a few people yesterday.</p>

	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px; "><strong>This is the message we received:</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Organic fertilizers and pesticides are as bad as the chemical ones. They perform the exact function and both contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These three elements are pollutants.</span></span></p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Our response:</strong></span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">You tell me that chemical fertilizers and organic ones pollute our ground water the same way just because they have three elements in common.&nbsp;<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; " />
	That is false.&nbsp;<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; " />
	Organic fertilizers break down into the soil in a complete different manner than chemical ones and rarely leach nitrates into groundwater causing&nbsp;eutrophication, besides having hundreds of positive effects on the soil.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">First of all Organic pesticides and fertilizer do not pollute our water and soil as the chemical ones, far from it. Most organic farms utilize biological control and crop rotation to deter pests.&nbsp;<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; " />
	<br />
	There are many exemplary farms in the world, their model can sustain the world ecologically. Again, the big ag and big oil intend to keep us dependent and will always deceive, will always pay billions for false propaganda to deny their main playing role in climate change.</span></span></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Organic farming reduces all these problems mentioned above: reduces nitrogen pollution, reduces pollution of groundwater as the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is prohibited;<br />
	<br />
	They are replaced by organic fertilizers (e.g. compost, animal manure, green manure) and through the use of greater biodiversity (in terms of species cultivated and permanent vegetation), enhancing soil structure and water infiltration. Well managed organic systems with better nutrient retentive abilities, greatly reduce the risk of groundwater pollution.<br />
	<br />
	In some areas where pollution is a real problem, conversion to organic agriculture is highly encouraged as a restorative measure (e.g. by the Governments of France and Germany).<br />

	<span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">With a little research you will see that nearly everything in our lives is made from&nbsp;<strong>oil</strong>, made by machinery and systems dependent on&nbsp;<strong>oil</strong>, and transported by&nbsp;<strong>oil</strong>&nbsp;as either gas or diesel fuel.

	<br />
	But I am certainly making the right choice when it comes to things I CAN CONTROL.<br />
	You don&#39;t have to choose a detergent, a perfume, a shampoo and so on that comes from oil; You can choose organic, inexpensive, safe,&nbsp;eco- friendly products. As long as you have the alternative, you can choose and change things.<br />
	<br />
	I suggest you read the stories of this two families and how they run their lives mostly independent from the food and oil industry, it&#39;s incredible:</span></font></font></font></span></span></p>
