We all know that humans are contributing to climate change. What does that really mean? What consequences can we actually see? What has changed over the last decades?

On the “Business Insider Science”, we could found a series of before and after pictures to show how dramatically the world has changed.

Look at the shocking pictures!!!

 

Organic food is becoming an essential part of our local food system. But do we actually know what organic food really means? 
We associate healthy and nutritious food with it, although organic doesn`t necessarily mean healthy. Organic describes how the food is grown. Farmers try to avoid pollutants and avoid the use of chemicals and antibiotics. 
Organic food should always be labeled with the USDA Organic seal. To use the term USDA Organic, the food has to be at least 95% organic. 
If you want to be healthy, you still have to take care what food you buy, whether it`s organic or not. If you care to keep your planet healthy and clean, organic food is definitely the right choice!
