Go to your local organic supermarket.

Fill as much of your shopping list as you can (and hope your kids just won’t notice that organic hot dogs, organic fish sticks, organic “Froot Loops” and organic Kraft Mac ‘n’ Cheese  taste nothing like their non-organic counterparts).

Go to the check-stand and apologize for not bringing your own bags.

GASP! when you see how much money you just spent.

Realize that organic groceries cost between  28 to 64 percent more than non-organic groceries.

Feel conflicted.

Ultimately decide you’re doing the right thing going organic.

Repeat this process each week until you’ve spent so much money on groceries you can’t afford to pay your other bills.

Get kicked out of your house.

Instead of getting depressed, congratulate yourself because according to recent research, you’ll generate 57.5% fewer greenhouse gases being homeless.

Multiply this across the entire country.

Listen carefully for the sound of Al Gore giving his last “An Inconvenient Truth” lecture.
