Choosing organic at the grocery store helps prevent the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizer, and animal drug treatments, but it’s easy to feel like each gallon of organic milk or cup of organic yogurt you purchase is only a drop in the bucket when it comes to making a stand against dangerous chemical use. However, when you take each of those organic choices and add them up the impact is enormous! The Organic Center developed this calculator to look at the magnitude of organic dairy purchasing across the country to show you that all those drops add up to big impacts.
