The Bite Wishes can come true, if you make 'em heard. Big-box retailers (like Wal-Mart) have the power to shift the market in favor of green, so speak up and spell out your wishes in online and in-store surveys. The Benefits Talkin' smack is fun.

The market for organic cotton is increasing by 116% per year and organic food sales have increased by 132% since 2002, largely because they are more available in stores. Not waiting 'til your wish bracelet breaks. The more green products we demand, the more that will enter the market and increase competition - making them cheaper and easier to find. Personally Speaking We've started a policy where we force any intern working for the Bite to fill out every comment card below, requesting more green shelf space for products, before we let them join the team. Wanna Try? Find card. Fill out card. Submit card. Voilà!
