USA: The Organic Center and partners challenge consumers

The Organic Center has announced that they will be included alongside the Center for Biological Diversity and the Energy Action Coalition in receiving a donation of100,000 $ from Stonyfield Farm's Profit for the Planet initiative and "bid with your lid" program, according to PR Newswire. The program was launched on October 1 and invites consumers to cast online votes to support one of the three participating organizations and each will receive a donation based upon the final tally of votes on December 15. With limited-edition yogurt lids printed to raise awareness, Stonyfield Farm is encouraging consumers to support their favored organization. Consumers can vote with a simple click or vote multiple times through their "myStonyfield Reward" program where each reward code printed on the yogurt packaging can be used to cast a vote and earn points to redeem for eco-friendly gifts. Online voting is possible at the Organic Center’s website or at Stonyfield Farm's website.

The Organic Center in partnership with the Organic Trade Association and Vitamin Angels is launching the "Unconventional Angels" program that will help children at risk for malnutrition. Participating companies supporting the effort include many categories of natural products such as dietary supplements, natural personal care products, natural foods, organic foods and other products. Participating retailers are Whole Foods Markets, New Seasons Markets, Nature's Pantry, Vitamin Shoppe, and another 1000 natural and organic retailers.
