Did you know that dairy farming can be incredibly hard on planet Earth? Cows used for dairy and their manure produce greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to climate change. Poor handling of manure and fertilizers can degrade local water resources. And unsustainable dairy farming and feed production can lead to the loss of ecologically important areas, such as prairies, wetlands, and forests.

By supporting this petition and standing up for the hundreds of thousands of children in our school system that NEED non-dairy options, you are helping our planet. So what else can you do?
