We believe that capitalism comes in different flavors--not just the
survival-of-the-fittest sort, but a softer, kinder, and more sustainable way of
doing business that considers the needs of our planet and its people.
Chocolate that's better for the earth: Consuming chocolate made from organically
grown cocoa is one giant step toward reducing our dependence on petroleum-based
agricultural inputs while supporting small growers who intercrop growing as many
6 crops on one small plot. This is a stark contrast with plantation-style
growing, where the rainforest is cut down to permit mono-cropping and
petroleum-based agricultural chemicals are commonly used. We believe that the
environment has been damaged enough by these POPs (persistant organic
pollutants) that kill our lakes and streams.
By selling organic chocolate, we
are encouraging cocoa growers to find other ways to combat plant diseases. We're
not talking about living in the past - but we need to live lighter on the earth
in order to have a brighter future.
Fair Trade certification is a guarantee
to processors, handlers, retailers and consumers, that the cocoa beans used in
this chocolate were produced in a way that does no social harm.
