B the Change Patch
B the Change:
A Grandfather Gandhi Story
A Picture Book for All Ages By Arun Gandhi, Bethany Hegedus Illustrated by Evan Turk Published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers
In this breathtaking companion to the award-winning GRANDFATHER GANDHI, Arun Gandhi, with Bethany Hegedus, tells a poignant, personal story of the damage of wastefulness, gorgeously illustrated by Evan Turk. At Grandfather Gandhi’s service village, each day is filled, from sunrise to sunset, with work that is done for the good of all. The villagers vow to live simply and non-violently. Arun Gandhi tries very hard to follow these vows, but he struggles with one of the most important rules: not to waste. How can throwing away a worn-down pencil hurt anyone? How can wastefulness lead to violence? With the help of his grandfather, Arun learns how every wasteful act, no matter how small, affects others. And in time he comes to understand the truth of his grandfather’s words: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

The farm families of Cabot Creamery Co-operative are so pleased that you have chosen to complete the B the Change Patch Program with your group! Cabot has been a B Corp since 2012, and we love spreading the B Corp message. Our goals for this program are to help your group understand how they can make positive changes in their communities, just as B Corps have a positive impact in the communities they serve.
Our Patch Program is inspired by the famous Gandhi quote, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” We hope this program encourages you and your group to Be the Change by trying to B Helpful, B Involved, B Informed, B Inspired, or to “B” anything that motivates you!

Cabot Creamery Farmer Owned Co-Operative
The farm families that own Cabot Creamery Co-operative love what they do. And they’ve been doing it for a long time—every single day since 1919. Now 100 years later, we’re proud of our thriving farms, strong communities, and happy, healthy cows that produce the rich, buttery milk that we use to make Cabot’s award-winning cheese and dairy products. We like to think those awards mean we’re doing something right. Of course, you’re a big part of this too. If you love eating our cheese as much as we love making it, then we’ll get to keep doing what we do for generations to come.
We’re in this together—and we’re grateful for your support.
Proud to Be a Certified B Corporation
Cabot Creamery Co-operative achieved B Corp certification in 2012 and became the world’s first dairy co-op to do so. We’re proud of this as it validates our attention to environmental and social impacts for our consumers, customers, employees and our co-operative of dairy farm families.
