Choco revolution!



Yamamoto-san at Greenz.jp writes about Fair Trade chocolate in Japan, and the movement to educate people about the good beans.

Have an organic Valentine's Day with no pesticides, non-GMO stuff from farmers who get paid properly. At the Amnesty International website you can sign a petition to get Nestle to source Fair Trade chocolate, and stop child labor in hazardous conditions on cocoa farms in Cote d'Ivoire. Also Japan's Slow Food movement and Greenpeace and others have focused on chocolate this winter. My favourite is Choco Revolution! They were featured on J-Wave's radio program Lohas Sunday on Feb 11 and on NHK Feb 12. They have even made a Mixi community (you have to log in). Nice.
