Earth Month is upon us and there is no better time to show them they can have their dairy and eat all of it, too!
Gen Z is drawn to social media “hacks,” which are clever tips and tricks that people post online so others can learn from their ways. Part of the dairy checkoff’s social media strategy this month is to share hacks on how people can make sure they use every drop of milk or spoonful of yogurt to avoid sending it to the landfill.
Some video hacks we’ll unveil this month include:
- Making milk/fruit ice cubes for smoothies — a great option for when people need a use for that last bit of milk left in the fridge.
- Adding milk ice cubes to iced coffee — a clever way to keep your coffee cold without the watery taste, while getting a nutritional boost from milk.
- Using the rest of your Greek yogurt before it expires to make an easy and tasty frozen snack.
In addition, we’ll share content that shows how U.S. farm families have made dairy possible through generations of commitment to sustainable farming practices.
We’ll post content on Earth Day (April 22) that sets the record straight on greenhouse gas emissions and we’ll drive people to this story titled “How Dairy Farmers Are Reducing Methane & Greenhouse Gas Emissions.” We’ll also pay tribute to our many sustainability award winners with a special video.
Finally, no social media campaign is complete without sharing delicious dairy recipes. Look for the checkoff to promote recipes for:
- Bow Tie Pasta Salad
- Baked Eggs Florentine Casserole
- Vietnamese Yogurt
- Blueberry Lavender Lemon Yogurt Popsicles
