7. Celery
8. Strawberries
9. Leafy Greens

Basically, if a fruit or veggie has a thick skin, it is protected from pesticides which means it is o.k. to eat the non-organic version.
By the way, the links above are to one of my favorite websites. It has a lot of good and simple going green information. I recommend spending some time browsing it!
