Where to Buy Fair Trade Chocolate (for Valentine's Day)
Cross-posted from THE ENVIRONMENTALIST

A Valentine's Day reminder, given chocolate's status as a conflict substance, that ethical (and tasty!) chocolate is readily available. Why is this important? With Fair Trade chocolate:

* Forced and abusive child labor are prohibited
* Farming families earn a price that is adequate to meet their basic human needs
* Environmentally sustainable production methods are required

Where to buy Fair Trade chocolate and other Fair Trade goods?

A partial list is available here

Happy Valentine's Day from THE ENVIRONMENTALIST

4. My sister, who was a foreign exchange student with American Field Service,
and is locally active in the organization even decades later, tells me DAGOBA chocolate was founded by another AFSer.

One more reason to like it.
