Chocolate has always been popular, and now buying chocolate can help you save the planet, too.
TerraPass, a company that sells carbon offsets to fund clean energy projects, has teamed up with the chocolate makers at Bloomsberry & Co. to bring you Climate Change Chocolates. The bars are available in both milk and dark chocolate and cost $5.50 a bar.
“About 10 percent of the money you spend on the bar goes to TerraPass,” says Alicia Seiger, vice president of corporate sales for TerraPass. This money goes on to fund things like wind power and other clean energy projects in the United States, Seiger says.
The inside wrapper of each bar also offers 15 ways to reduce your own carbon use through simple lifestyle changes, Seiger says. The bars can be purchased online at www.bloomsberry.com or at participating Borders or Whole Foods Market stores.
