Produce pop quiz:
Sally and Donny each have $5 to spend on produce. Sally buys two organic apples ($2.50), two conventional tomatoes ($1.50) and a conventional head of broccoli ($1). Donny gets a conventional head of broccoli ($1), two conventional apples ($1.50) and two organic tomatoes ($2.50). Who is exposed to more pesticides? (Answer below.)

If questions like that make you want to run to the chips & soda aisle, you probably haven’t seen EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides yet. Our lists rank fruits and veggies based on levels of pesticide residue, so you know:

• which conventional produce are OK if organic isn’t available
• how to best budget your produce dollars
• that Sally is the smarter shopper (apples are #2 on the “Dirty Dozen” list but tomatoes are in the “Clean 15″)

Just listen to a verse of the song:

“You gotta know it
[It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie!]
Now you can’t hold it
[It's electric

But you know it there,
Yeah here there everywhere “

I know a little sappy but before you start to get out of your seat and start doing the Electric Slide, hear me out.  Let’s look at why this song is so appropriate for this car.  Listen to the first line:  “You got to know it.”

That’s right. You got to know about this car. (See the video above.) Well, for starters it’s a ZEV, which is a zero emission vehicle which  runs on electricity…
