Why is it so expensive to live organic and green? Where food is concerned, organic products are much more expensive than non-organic products. I just read an article that Honda has introduced a vehicle that is similar to the Civic and runs basically on water. Yet a 3 year lease of the vechicle costs $600 per month. I know that the technology that allows a vehicle to run on water is not at all new. So why is green living so expensive? At a time when our planet really needs to use alternative fuel sources, the overwhelming majority of people cannot begin to consider a change because our economy is in such bad condition. How is someone that is just getting by supposed to get on this bandwagon?

the previous answer is only partially true. Yes Organic food is much more diffucult to get because they can only use natural fertilizers and no pesticides whatso ever, therefor making less of a yield and a higher cost. As for the electric car your talking abou im sure you read the same article on Yahoo as everyone else. It does cover matinence and other cost related to the car. The reason why it is so expensive is because it is very new. It may be better but this is basically a large beta test of how this technology works at home. There are only roughly 200 of these cars on the road so if you have a limited supply you can charge whatever you want due to the insane amount of demand for it. I am not sure if Honda has the technology to mass produce these yet, so these cars could be built one at a time there for increasing cost. Our economy is in bad condition but hopefully with the up coming election things may change, after all that is what both parties were preaching.

i hope this helps resolve some of the questions you had

Hey all I am a poor college student looking for tips on living more green. I try to buy organic as much as I can but it is difficult with a limited amount of money. Anybody have any suggestions/good finds? Also, any tips on living green?

-Grow your own
-shop at farmer’s markets (Google "Certified Farmers market" + "your town"
- Tofu – it can be dressed in 1000′s of different recipes and cost about $1.50 per package. A package lasts my 2 person house 3 meals or so.
- Fruits and veggies are typically cheaper than processed packaged foods
- meat substitute foods for treats only, they’re good but pricey
-shop in the dry bulk bins (about 60% savings!)
- buy seasonally
-buy based on good prices and work meals around what’s available rather than forcing yourself to buy around a meal plan
-compromise when needed, RTSB free milk may be cheaper than organic. Won’t be as good, but still better than regular
-Depending on your area, shop at alternating stores. Some items are cheaper in some stores than others.
-Some stores have organic generic brands
-avoid fast food and cook for yourself more often

Living green tip – assess your lifestyle and for the next day, week, or year ask yourself where you can reduce, reuse, or recycle.
