You're a caring, concerned parent - and if you could, you'd probably
personally oversee every meal your child eats. Instead, you send them off to
school each day hoping they'll make the best possible choices in the
cafeteria or at the vending machine.

Milk is an especially important choice, and some schools are eliminating
sodas and making milk more available to kids. That's an important step. But
if you're one of many parents who chooses organic milk at home, perhaps
you'd like to see your children have that choice in school, too.

Why not work to make that happen? You and other like-minded parents can
influence what schools purchase and sell, not just in the lunchroom but also
in vending machines, as a la carte items, and at special events.

The Parents' Organic Toolkit will help you get started, as you inform other
parents about your mission, gather community support, and talk to the
professionals at your children's schools about organic milk.
