Mission Organic
A non-profit group called The Organic Center has launched a campaign to try to get Americans to get to 10% organic consumption by 2010. Right now, America is at about 2%, which is higher than I expected. They're calling the campaign Mission Organic 2010. Whether you pledge to or not, check out their site. It has a lot of very good information and links about organic food, including recent science on human and environmental health related to the fertilizers and pesticides used in "non-organic" food production.
I believe that knowledge is the only way to get many more people to change behaviors (buying organic as one), and The Organic Center seems to offer quite a bit. And I did check to see that it was non-profit before suggesting it.
As I mentioned before, organic products are more readily available every day. Via TreeHugger.
