Halloween is almost here. Time to stock up on goodies for those cute little goblins at your door. If you choose to give out candy, here’s some important information.
Some major brands of chocolate use child labor and growing methods that are harming our Earth. Instead, buy lesser-known brands that don’t do either. Green America has put together a chocolate scorecard that evaluates the various brands. You’ll see, for example, that Hershey’s gets a full thumbs-up in all six categories, while Nestles has a thumbs-down and Godiva (save your money!) has two thumbs-down.
Then go to Put Down That Big-Name Chocolate to find other, lesser-known brands of chocolate made by companies who emphasize people (including children) and the Earth.
Happy Halloween!
