I think the philosophy behind fair trade is worth spending extra money for, but I do not support the organic food movement and don’t want to buy organic products. Do products like this exist?
I read more about the Fairtrade organization in the link you provided, and you’re right; the organic principles are built into the labeling procedure. I don’t think what I’m looking for exists. Thanks for your help.

There may be but you see organic farming practices because synthetic pesticides are not allowed is a big worker plus (much less exposure to toxins) and if you are going to be prohibited from using most insecticides and fungicides you might as well get your farm certified organic as well as Fair Trade. The two philosophy’s are very close and because of that I don’t quite see how you can hate organic farming but be for Fair Trade, unless you don’t really under stand what organic farming is really about

For instance, we all know that you cannot label something as "organic" without it being certified. My question is this…can a product have a normal line and an organic line that both conisist of organic ingredients? More specifically, can normal PAM contain organic ingredients without being labeled as organic? The purpose of doing so would be to steer customers towards the SAME product that has the organic label for a few more dollars.

yes, but with most things… there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.

I heard that petroleum and mineral oil are bad for your body in the long run, but I want to know if it is true…. Some organic products don’t seem to work that great, are they really better? Any advice?

There is no regulation for organic cosmetics, unlike organic foods which are heavily regulated. So any cosmetic company can slap the word organic on any product regardless of whether or not the product has any organic ingredients at all.

See http://www.organicconsumers.org for a lot of information about organic cosmetics and body care. Right now the only companies that have truly organic cosmetics and soap are Dr Bronner’s magic Soap and Aubrey Organics. the rest are just jerking your chain and taking advantage of the huge organic loophole due to organics being regulated by the USDA and cosmetics being regulated by the FDA

We are expecting a child in December 2009 (we don’t know gender yet) and have started a registry at Babies-R-Us, but cannot find many products: wool/alpaca blankets, cotton plush blankets, modern looking cotton nursery bedding, organic toys, foam mattress, light-weight crib in cherry color (there is one in maple color at Babies-R-Us though) …
Does it mean that we should open a registry at another store instead? What other national store chain would be good for a variety of organic/quality baby products?

Do you have a buy buy baby near you? They have a bit higher end things, and many organic products.

I don’t want to use any harsh chemicals on my hair or skin so I’m looking for organic products that I can buy in stores.
Is the botanics range at boots organic?

LUSH. It’s a bit more expensive, but a lot of it is soooo worth it.

I recently signed up as a dealer of organic products. This particular company only sell their products online. The brand name being relatively new (less than a year in the market), is not well-known. And most people aren’t aware about organic products and it’s overall benefits. Helping save the environment has been my advocacy. Thus I wanted to promote organic products, and earn at the same time.

How do I create public awareness on organic personal care products?

How do I promote my merchandise? What mediums should I use?

Thank you for the help.

Sell on amazon, ebay. Set up a blog, use feedburner. Google pay per click, overture, msn keywords etc. Shopzilla and Nextag is sometimes good, do a few tests with various keywords at different bid points. Write lots of good quality original content on your website so it gets picked up by search engines. Don’t try any spammy seo techniques. See if you can hit up physical stores to have them carry the new line, be sure to bring your business card and some brochures about the product.

Sales of organic products are on the rise. Organic foods are estimated to account for more than 10 billion dollars in annual consumer sales, according to the Organic Trade Association, and organic foods are now available in 3/4 of U.S. grocery stores. Recent beef recalls have made headlines and have prompted consumers to consider buying organic. Dr. David Di Paolo tells us more about organic goods in this episode of Fitness over Forty report.

You can find organic wine. Square One vodka and Purus vodka are organic. Just google "organic (type of alcohol you like)". You might have to order it online but I know you can find whatever you want.
