Call Hershey to ask for more Fair Trade Certified Chocolate In the US

Earlier this spring, Green Business Network told its members how Cadbury is taking steps to bring more Fair Trade chocolate to Europe...But there's still no conventional US chocolate company that is stepping up to make Fair Trade Certified™ chocolate widely available...Green America Business Network members have led the way (companies like Divine, Equal Exchange, Ithaca Fine Chocolates, Sweet Earth Organics, and Theo Chocolates)...Hershey needs to take a stand against abusive child labor in the cocoa supply chain, and the best way to do that is to go Fair Trade.
