Climate Change Chocolate Bar

Bloomsberry, LLC, a Salem, MA-based chocolate maker that sells its bars in whimsical wrappers, have now teamed up with TerraPass, a green energy broker, to offer these "Climate Change Chocolate" bars.

The wrappers have printed on them 15 tips to reduce your carbon footprint on the world, and in addition have included in their sale price, enough carbon energy credits from TerraPass to offset your carbon footprint for one day.

You can read more about the global warming confection at TerraPass' website...

Solving the climate crisis by eating chocolate - now there is a great new product idea! I'm willing to do all I can to help this one succeed.

Sorry to be a bummer but lots of chocolate is grown in cocoa plantations that required felling rainforests and, as a result, use lots of pesticides which contaminate groundwater and traces of which have been found in chocolate. Child labour is also still a big thing on cocoa plantations in West Africa where 70% of the world's cocoa comes from.

You can eat your chocolate guilt free, however. Buy organic, fair trade chocolate and eat it to your heart's content!!!

Way to harsh my mellow, anonymouse

You know... like water.
Like Water for Chocolate.

I suppose the presumption is that this particular chocolate isn't trashing the rainforest, but instead is being harvested by happy families who are getting paid decently for their work.

By the way, why am I always hearing about BUYING energy credits? Some smarty-pantses somewhere must be SELLING them. How can I become one of THEM?

Just capture and sell the right to release. Ease-peasy. No need to thank me.

If you know some products that really suck, feel free to review them at http://awaystuff.com - it's a forum about the things of inferior quality.

Hmm, the question remains - does it taste any good? It's a universally acknowledged law that anything which is good for you - or, by extension, the environment - cannot be in any way fun, tasty or otherwise enjoyable.

On the zillion-to-one off-chance that it's actually edible I fear my waistband may start expanding at a rapid pace...
