Progressive groups such as Green America and the International Labor Rights Forum are celebrating a Fair Trade victory. Cadbury Dairy Milk – the leading chocolate bar in the UK – has announced plans to begin using Fair Trade cocoa this summer. This is great news for cocoa farmers, which will boost Fair Trade CertifiedTM chocolate up to a full 15 percent of the chocolate market in England.
Now is the time, as Creme Eggs are about to goo up teeth across the land, to ask Cadbury to do the same in the U.S. Alisa Gravitz, director of Green America, asserts: “Cadbury needs to hear from thousands of green Americans who want to know that none of their chocolate purchases are supporting exploitative child labor in the cocoa industry.”
Please TAKE ACTION with Green America.
Let’s help the Creme Egg overcome its guilt, Thanks!
