If They're Not Organic,
Don't Inhale
Resist the urge to run out to the grocery store and grab that $8 bouquet over-the-counter for the mother in your life.
If you do, she’ll be unknowingly taking a deep inhale of pesticides that are known carcinogens, reproductive hazards and neurotoxins. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed roses and found pesticides at levels 50 times higher than that acceptable in food.
Protect her health and the environment by purchasing organic flowers instead. Organic Bouquet offers gorgeous, certified organic flowers online and locally at Trader Joe’s, Wild Oats and Whole Foods. If you have time, she’d light up over a handpicked bouquet of wild, unprocessed flowers, tied with a pretty bow.
