The Easter Bunny is en route to arrive on Monday the 5th of April! This year spread the magic further and purchase fair trade certified and sustainably sourced palm oil / palm oil free chocolate. I recommend Trade Aid New Zealand, Bennetto Natural Foods Co., Loving Earth, Forty Thieves and Whittaker's Chocolate Lovers. When you choose to purchase Fair Trade certified or Rainforest Alliance Certified chocolate you are voting for the abolishment of child labour and supporting the farmers and artisans who produced your chocolate.
According to NORC at the University of Chicago, there are 1.56 million child labourers in the cocoa industry in Côte d’lvoire and Ghana - that’s 50% of the children living within the cocoa sector. Vote for a sustainable cocoa industry, by purchasing fair trade chocolate.
