Eat eco-friendly chocolate with a clear conscience

I like good coffee, and I appreciate good wine, but what I really love is a good piece of chocolate.

Unfortunately, conventional cocoa plant growing methods aren’t so wonderful for the planet.

Back in the day, cocoa was grown in the shade. Today, to get higher yields, farmers have switched to new varieties that require sun. This is bad for the animals that rely on cocoa farms for habitat.
