Hello Viewers,
Did you know that eating the fruits and veggies on the Dirty Dozen list will expose a person to about 10 pesticides per day, on average? Eating from the Clean 15 list will expose a person to less than two pesticides per day. It’s true.
At EWG, our top priority is empowering consumers with the best possible information, like EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides, to make healthy choices.
But we simply can’t keep doing this research without your support, and we need you now more than ever.
We need to raise $45,000 before Monday, May 10 to keep us on track for our 2010 budget. I’m counting on you to help us get there.
Give $10 or more, and we’ll send you an EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides bag tag to clip on to your reusable shopping bag. That way, you’ll always have trusted EWG research in the produce aisle.
Click here to rush $10 or more to EWG, and we’ll send you an EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides bag tag that you can clip on to your reusable shopping bag. Act fast, and you’ll get our limited bag tag to help you make smart choices about your produce while you’re shopping.
For EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides, we compiled FDA and USDA data on pesticides in food and simulated eating habits for thousands of consumers. We discovered that by eating the right kind of produce, you can reduce your exposure to pesticides by nearly 80%.
EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides tells you exactly which foods are most important to buy organic to limit your family’s exposure to pesticides. For example, try to find organic apples, as they’re typically highly contaminated. Onions are less risky to buy conventionally-grown, if necessary.
This is just the kind of information you need to make sound decisions at the grocery store.
This is the sixth edition of EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides, and as long as we can rely on your generous support to meet our fundraising goal before the Monday, May 10 deadline, we’ll keep doing everything we can to arm consumers with the latest information on food safety.
Click here to make an immediate, secure donation of $10 or more to EWG. We need your support to keep empowering consumers with the latest food safety data.
The truth is that we always recommend buying organic if you can. It’s the best way to keep your family safe from pesticides in fruits and vegetables.
But we know that’s not always possible, so we published the research you need to make smart choices.
We can’t keep doing this kind of research without your continued support, so please make a donation right away.
Sincerely,
Ken Cook
President, EWG
