happy (too soon) halloween~ xD

extra xD

heyo! here’s a list of all the brands owned by Nestlé, Mars, and Hershey

Nestlé:

Mars:

and anything owned by the Wrigley Company:

Hershey

it would be awesome if we could buy less from these brands, and encourage friends and family to do the same :)

instead of buying from these brands, try:

Mars, Nestle, Hershey, Mondelez, and Cargill enslave children for their chocolate production. The Supreme Court protected them 8-1 in June 2021.

Know a distraction when you see one.

HELLO????

This is the link from the video. It’s important that we try to take action. Don’t buy chocolate that may be connected with slavery. In the link there’s also information about slavery free chocolate.

On chocolate, coffee, tea, other products coming from the global south: if you can afford it, buy only products with some kind of a certificate that demonstrates the product has been ethically produced (and this has been verified by an outside agency), such as the Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance certificate.

But also beware that some producers have made up their own certificates, with no outside oversight. These essentially fake certificates include Cocoa Life, the certificate invented by Mondelez – one of the companies listed behind the link for using slave labour, who stopped using Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and switched to their own certificate instead.

here’s a list of companies who use fair trade chocolate:

and a list of companies who knowingly use slave labor to make their chocolate:
