30 days to a Greener Diet - Day 8

Today is: Begin drinking hormone free milk today. Some states don't allow labeling about the hormones or lack of in the milk but
"Organic dairies cannot feed their cows with grains grown with pesticides, nor can they use antibiotics or growth hormones like rGBH or rbST. The overall impact of the herd is lessened when you choose organic milk."

It is more expensive but if you can't find hormone, antibiotic free milk then it would be your best bet. In Ohio where I live we have this no labeling law, but I noticed that even though the milk I buy isn't labeled there is a big sign on the cabinet door instead. You could also go to a milk's website, most companies have a website now. Read more at www.thedailygreen.com about milk, there is a lot of information there.
