When Should I Buy Organic?
We all want the best for our kids, but going completely organic can be daunting. Compromise by choosing organic where it really counts. The nonprofit Environmental Working Group ranks 46 fruits and vegetables according to pesticide content (go to foodnews.org for details) — the greater the pesticide load, the greater the reason to consider buying organic.
Here, you'll find a quick round-up of which fruits and veggies are best to buy organic and which are OK to buy non-organic. Download our printable guide to keep this information handy -- tape it to the refrigerator or bring it with you to the market to make smart produce shopping a breeze.

We are a retail store, not a manufacturer, so we carry products from many different brands. Our main competitors are other bamboo product manufacturers, and 4 or 5 shops like ours that carry all different bamboo products. Our advantage is in our selection, because we carry so many different brands. And we've been doing this for 5 years, making us the oldest all-bamboo store there is.
On our blog we discuss issues related to environmental awareness, green living, natural lifestyles. Sometimes we also write about local issues for our community, and about topics related to Buddhism, yoga, zen and eastern philosophy.
We will have to share this on our blog http://www.bambubatu.com/blog/
