A web developer was walking along the side of a lake when he came across a funny looking frog. The guy picked up the frog, put it into his pocket, and went on his way.

A couple of minutes later, the man heard a cry from inside his pocket, “help, help”! He took out the frog, looked at it, smiled, and put it back into his pocket.

Again, “help, help me, a wicked witch has turned me into a frog, kiss me and I’ll turn into a beautiful princess”. Again the man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and put it back again.

The little green frog again screamed out “Help, I’m the most beautiful princess, if you kiss me and help me I’ll do anything, marry you, sleep with you, give you money, ANYTHING.” The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled and said “I’m a web developer; I work too much so a girlfriend or wife is of no use to me. But, a small talking green frog is cool.”

THE LOCAL GREEN MARKET PRODUCTS WILL HAVE VEGETABLES WATERED FROM TOILET WATERS.SOME WILL HAVE ABUNDANT BACTERIA HARBORING E COLI.
THERE WILL BE GENETICALLY MODIFIED PRODUCTS BECAUSE NOBODY IS THERE TO INVESTIGATE THEM.

Organic farming should be promoted, not that evil GM foods some scientists, reserchers, etc have introduced in the country to destroy us all. Let's all go for organic.

What the hell? Why would you say it's the first Ghanaian green market. Every single open market sells self sustaining natural wholesome organic produce. Why would you lie and label yours as the first.

Hello Rene T,
I understand and appreciate your comprehension about the term “First” Green market. Your point is correct in the context of open markets, but what we seek to achieve is an opportunity for dialogue. If I may, how often have you had a conversation with your tomato seller at makola about the source of her produce? Did she tell you what village the tomatoes were grown in? Did she tell you if there were any chemicals added? Have you bothered to find out if she grows the produce herself? Does she have a relationship with the farmer where she sources her produce? How often she gets fresh produce and how she stores them?
You see usually in the market, you pick what you want, negotiate, pay and walk away.
We are giving you a chance to chat and interact with the farmers who grow your produce. With the middle-men who scout the villages buying and bringing your produce to market, and with the market women who retail the produce you buy.
This has never been done in Accra or Ghana. And as such, I am sure you will agree that we are justified in saying that we are the first.
Best Regards,

Might not sell fruits, vegetables & cereals and produce that are considered "green", the market might sell artifacts and other technologies that promote environmentally friendly living. We certainly need such a market.

Thank God we are becoming environmentally conscious. This is bound to improve our health. As the saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
