Greeting Earthlings!
As mentioned from last week’s post, I would be introducing a number of Green Halloween activities that you can do to help our planet. I also hinted that these activities are not your traditional trick-or-treating experience.
However, before I start. I would like to say that I found these activities from GreenHalloween.org. So, all credits goes to GreenHalloween.org. All I am doing is spreading the word!
The first activity is called, Reverse Trick-or-Treating.
Activity: Reverse Trick-or-Treating. Visit official website.
What is it: The purpose of this acitivity is to raise awareness of Fair Trade Certified chocolate and help end abusive labor conditions in the cocoa industry. This year, instead of accepting candy, hand out Fair Trade chocolate and/or informational cards on why supporting Fair Trade practices in the cocoa industry is a year’s round must!
“Reverse Trick-or-Treating is an initiative of Global Exchange and is collaboration between national and regional nonprofit organizations advocating for Fair Trade and against child labor in the cocoa industry, such as International Labor Rights Forum and Washington Fair Trade Coalition…Many organizations and chocolate companies, including numerous ones involved in Reverse Trick-or-Treating have signed the Commitment to Ethical Cocoa Sourcing, calling on the cocoa industry to end abusive child labor in the cocoa fields and pay cocoa farming families a fair price that allows them to meet their basic needs.” — GreenHalloween.org.
