I would like to do my topic on organic food. Out of all the topics I have so far discovered about physical environment this one interests me the most. I am hoping to learn a little more about organic growing and its benefits. I believe this is the best opportunity to do just that. My thesis is: Although organic food is more costly, people should invest in organic because of the soil care, climate benefits, and water welfare.
- I. First Main Idea Soil care
- a. Discussion point crop treatment (healthier soil)
i. Example one crop rotations and inter-cropping
ii. Example two no toxic sludge used as fertilizer
- b. Discussion point Failure to thrive do to non-organic
i. Example one erosion
ii. Example two drought
- II. Second Main Idea climate benefits
- a. Discussion point captures gases and fuels
i. Example one carbon dioxide
ii. Example two lowers fossil fuel output
- III. Third Main Idea no polluted ground water
- a. Discussion point pesticides
i. Example one non organic pesticides
ii. Example two organic pesticides
- b. Discussion point antibiotics into water

ii. Example two by fertilizers
