Chomp on a Climate Change Chocolate bar
It's hardly going to stop the ice-caps melting, but if you're a big chocolate fan, this one claims to 'do good as well as taste good'. Let's have a look at why...
Terra Pass's Climate Change Chocolate bar is the only carbon offset confectionery I'm aware of, and each bar comes with a verified TerraPass offset of 133 pounds of carbon dioxide reduction. It also comes in a wrapper decorated with 15 tips for lightening your environmental impact.
Sounds er, great. But the chocolate isn't fairtrade and I'm not even sure the wrappers are recycled so score zero there. As for the messages on the packet, these sound about as likely to get through to young chocoholics as the 'save the animals' messages on those old Cadbury's Wildlife Bars, which were mostly just resented by kids for being so insubstantial. Green bandwagon ahoy!
