Half of the world’s cocoa is produced on West African
plantations, where, according to the United Nations International Labor
Organization, 284,000 child laborers, “are either involved in hazardous
work, unprotected, or have been trafficked.” Organic Consumers Organization offers a number of
options for consumers and advocates to become more knowledgeable about
this - the first being - buy only Fair Trade and organic chocolate.
Their are lots of choices, but Root loves Dagoba and Green & Black’s . Help educate people about this important issue by sending a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Host a slavery-free Halloween house party to distribute trick-or-treat sized Fair Trade chocolate minis to your friends and neighbors. Help OCA publicize the slavery-free Halloween campaign by letting them know about your house party. Contact: alexis@organicconsumers.org
