"The spread of illegal cocoa plantations, which supply beans to popular
candy brands, have caused widespread deforestation across much of the
Ivory Coast's protected land reserves. The solution lies in the hands of
consumers: buy fair-trade chocolate."

It's important to buy "fair trade" chocolate and coffee if you possibly
can. We only use fair trade coffee at work.
