Calvin and I both decided to make our vices a little kinder and greener. It's easy to find both coffee and chocolate that are fair trade (my #1 priority with these 2 items), local (#2), and organic (#3). It felt good to decide what is most important to us and then buy accordingly. Yes, we pay quite a bit more. But I feel lucky for us to be able to have these indulgences and we will enjoy them more knowing they are not at the expense of exploited workers or the environment. Plus, I've noticed that since I'm more picky about the chocolate I buy now, I have smaller amounts and enjoy it more. Plus, it's fun to try new brands... the darker the better!
I found all 3 at Olivers.
