Local strawberries or organic -- which should a sustainability geek buy?
I walked into my local grocery store over the weekend, and was faced with the very dilemma -- organic or local? -- we've been wrestling with for a while.
On one table: fresh local strawberries, grown conventionally (ie., with pesticides and artificial fertilizers). On an adjacent table: organic strawberries shipped all the way from California. I looked, but couldn't find any that were both local and organic.
The question: which to buy?
