A Green Easter (Tuesday March 26th 2013)
How can we make the whole experience of Easter a little GREENer?
Well, I’ve done some research and found some truly lovely chocolate for you to spend your money on. Of course I had to taste a few along the way (all in the name of research my darlin’s).
I also checked out Shop Ethical and found some brands to truly avoid. Kraft, Mars, Hershey, Nestle and Lindt (oh no) – all have a big red cross next to their names for a variety of reasons including; they may contain GE ingredients, they breach advertising codes and they do not adhere to fair trade rights.
Try these green brands this year – Cocolo, Haighs, Sweet William, Whitakers, Chocolateir, Darrell Lea, Ferrero, Guylian, Ballantyne and Earnest Hillier. They all get the big green tick of approval from the Shop Ethical team. These guys have done all our homework for us – sussing out companies and brands. You can buy Shop Ethical as an app ($4.45) or as a small compact booklet ($8.95). It is a fabulous empowering green tool to help us make good consumer choices.
Therein lies our collective power.
White keys – bad choice!
And of course there is huge array of local chocolate makers that probably live not that far from you. They can help you buy local, organic chocolate for your loved ones this Easter. One of my favourites (that I’ve only just discovered) is Loving Earth. They make a beautiful organic chocolates and promote heath, sustainability and fairness – exactly what you want from a chocolate company.

Saying goodbye to our loved ones can be so hard. How heartening to think that a memory of them lives on in the beautiful forests of Australia. Every tree is finding its feet and settling in for a generation’s worth of service to the planet.
