Photo: The Kitchen Gardener/Flickr The Organic Trade Association is looking for parents, teachers, educators, students and anyone else to vote for their schools in a contest to win an organic garden complete with seeds, soil and expert gardening support; or a fully stocked vending machine, which can feature organic items such as milk, fruit, cheese, yogurt and snacks.
Here’s what the Website says you need to know to enter and vote for your school.
- Visit http://www.organicitsworthit.org/school-newsletter, enter your favorite school's name and address, and "vote" for your school by signing up for an electronic newsletter featuring organic tips, recipes, news and more.
- You can also write a letter to your school, sign and circulate a petition, read and share this fact sheet, download our partnership kit, try these tips, or check out these other resources to help us spread the word that Organic. It's Worth It in Schools.
- The school that wins the most "votes" and generates the most newsletter sign-ups will have the choice of an organic garden, complete with seeds, soil, and support from an organic gardening expert, or a fully stocked organic vending machine .
This is obviously a way to get people to sign up for the newsletter, and schools that don’t receive at least 1,000 newsletter sign-ups aren’t eligible to win. But, if those in your school district can stand a little organic news in their inbox every now and then, it may be worth it to “vote” and give the kids in your school a chance to have access to better food.
The contest runs through 11:59 p.m. ET on May 1, 2010. For all official rules and regulations, click here.
