Something which was regular before now holds a special status

I am a nature loving person, and love to stay close and do as much as possible to preserve it. So GreenPeace, WWF, Organic are quite a regular term in my dictionary. Also I am a huge gadget geek. To be frank, they intoxicate me.
I would prefer buying from a farmers market or at a super market buy lentils, rice, juice, fruits and vegetables which are labeled Organic.
Yesterday when I was shopping at the super market, I realized that out of the 15 rows of vegetable/ fruit tables there was one that was dedicated for ‘Organic’. There were a handful of them available and attracted a 30%-50% extra price tag. What struck to be then was ‘Something which was regular before now holds a special status.’ Then all of a sudden my childhood flashed in front of eyes. I started comparing 20 year old memories with that of today. The food, the trees, surroundings, the gadgets, plants, animals. etc. Out of all that I compared the only thing that stood better today were ‘gadgets’. I felt, I have lost all the rest of the things in the same exponential manner to which gadgets have grown.
While driving back home the typical question “Am I doing the right thing?” came to my mind. I have never been able to justify. Aren’t these facts real and heavy enough to hit me hard on my face to make me that something terribly wrong is happening? Or am I to wait further.
In a typical project if a manger sees these kinds of sign, he would clearly stop the current approach and look for alternatives. So what is preventing me, the world and it’s leaders from doing so?
