The movement of businesses and consumers toward a more environmentally conscious and sustainable living mindset has become more than a passing trend in America today; it is now a way of life. The huge increase in consumer demand for organic or eco-friendly products has prompted existing producers to provide products made with natural ingredients and materials, and the overall move toward a "greener" society has created great opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs to open businesses based on this theme. This massive movement toward more sustainable products in the marketplace  has also created a downward pressure on prices, making organic products that  much more of an attractive alternative.

Over the years the marketplace has witnessed the "sprouting up" of far more than just organic food and beverage companies. The building supply, clothing, furniture, pet product, and vitamin & supplement industries all have niche companies that boast the use of organic or all-natural materials in the marketing of their products, and these companies are rewarded by consumers seeking out greener solutions. (For a list of companies that use organic or all-natural materials in their products, see our Organic Product Guide). One industry in particular that has made the move to a more sustainable product offering is the flower gifting industry.

For a long time convincing consumers of the benefits of buying organically grown flowers was a tough sell. After all, it's not like you are ingesting the flowers, and the amount of pesticides used on a single bouquet does not strike fear into much of the general public when making their buying decision. However, with the increased environmental awareness, led by a popular "green movement" in the United States, people have become more sensitive to ways they can help the ecosystem when making consumer purchases than ever before.

Additionally, recent studies that have come out of government agencies showing the sickness and disease that inflicts the laborers in the flower fields that supply our cut flower markets have had an increasing effect on the consumers of those products. People don't just wish to keep the land safe; they are also looking out for the people who are producing the flowers, which are mainly low income laborers in Latin America. By rewarding the companies who made the choice to offer products that do not use harmful pesticides, environmentally conscious consumers have led the entire industry to a greener way of doing business.

In this sense, Organic Bouquet (partner of this site) has been a pioneer in the flower delivery market. They have been leading the charge toward a more eco-friendly marketplace for years, getting the attention from the likes of Al Gore, The View, and Good Morning America just to name a few. Every aspect of the products Organic Bouquet offers is sustainable. Even their packaging is biodegradable. And they have a proven commitment to upholding the eco-standards they set for their product line.

Many of the products found on OrganicBouquet.com can be purchased on behalf of a charitable organization with a portion of proceeds going to benefit that organization and the people they help. This has enabled Organic Bouquet and their customers to raise an extraordinary amount of funds to go toward things like breast cancer research, feeding the poor in developing countries, nature conservancy and much more.

Needless to say the advent of companies like Organic Bouquet and some of our other partners has made the case much stronger for buying organic, even if you aren't going to eat the product! The use of organic or all-natural materials in production can be just as important to the earth as eating organic can be for your health.  More and more people are becoming aware that spending the same amount of money on a product made organically as they would have otherwise is a benefit to oneself as well as society as  a whole. The organic solution, therefore, is a winning alternative for all involved.
