How much are you willing to pay for those organic chocolate chips?

This was the conversation The Lazy Environmentalist, a show about a man looking to reduce his carbon footprint, star Josh Dorfman had with Tonic.

When the topic turned to how living green can get difficult due to high prices of items or lack of availability, Dorfman used his sweet tooth as an example.

“I look at it like, ‘I love to eat organic food, and sometimes it’s too expensive for me.’ I’m not going to spend $8 per pound on organic dark chocolate chips for making cookies. This was a conversation with my girlfriend last week [after he bought some]. She was like, ‘You are insane!’ But I don’t beat myself up over it, because we as humans — the onus is on business and entrepreneurs to make green choices better for us. If the choices are better we will embrace them. If they’re too expensive or the quality isn’t good enough or they’re hard to find, it’s not realistic for most Americans.”

Actually, the $8 a bag might be a little exaggerated.

The Veg Star found some organic chocolate chips online for roughly $6.

These varieties are usually slightly cheaper, priced at $5 or so in the store.

And heck, it’s almost summer.

Skip the baking altogether and buy a bag of already made cookies made with organic chocolate chips, which are normally $2 cheaper on shelves too.
