They started using the term in the 1960's. If it was around before then it wasn't very well known. It's a pop culture term meaning all natural ingredients, and made without chemicals, like fertilizer, insecticide, antibiotics, etc. They are starting to create a formal definition in terms of the FDA, etc., now that things are being labelled that way in the supermarkets. I hope they include heavy metals, petroleum, and things like that. In the scientific sense, "organic" means carbon based compounds.

My business is in Organics but trust me to live organic takes a lot more in a developed world as ours. To literally live organic would be like a tribal in the woods, in sync with nature's cycle.
Best way to lessen the burden on nature is to live green wherever possible like eating organically grown food, avoid use of plastics and conserve energy. By doing this there is a greater transformation of thought and body.
Good Luck!

Organic living is anything used or consumed that is totally natural, like hemp clothing, garden vegetables from your own garden that have not been sprayed with chemicals or fertalized with anything that has additives to enhance growth or productivity.
Meats, fish and poultry that is range fed not lot fed.
Walking or riding a bike instead of using a car.
Recycling and not using plastic, tin, aluminum, etc. if you can help it.
Using solar energy, insulating your home with natural products with a higher rating.

living a sustainable lifestyle. Eating, and maybe growing food that has not been exposed to pesticides etc. Using natural and non toxic cleaning products and generally trying to do as little harm to the envionment as possible.
