Organic

While it may seem simple, lots of people are a little confused as to what it means in relation to their lives. It is a term that can be applied in many situations:

• Organic is something that relates or belongs to the class of chemical compounds having a carbon basis (like you and me!)
• Organic can refer to having properties characteristic organisms that are alive or once were.
• Organic can refer to a livestyle that is simple and close to nature.
• Organic can also refer to a fertilizer that is derived from animal or vegetable matter (like the stuff in your compost box!)
