Living Organically started with a documentary. In December 2012, I was 11 years old and I watched Food Inc. with my older sister at our house. I was really surprised at all the things you don't know about what you're eating. For example, before I didn't know about all the pesticides that they sprayed on fruits and vegtables.
PESTICIDE: "Pesticides are substances or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest.[1] They are a class of biocide" (Source: Wikipedia)
I started to think about what I was eating since now I knew pesticides were harmful and that fruits and vegtables sold at almost every grocery store had been sprayed with them during their growth. I decided to research about organic food and how to avoid foods with pesticides and how to change your lifestyle. I created this website to share my findings with other kids to encourage them to realize what they are eating and inform them on things that they may not know.
Here is my Living Organically Presentation:
