Valentine’s Day and Sustainable Chocolate Ideas

Posted on by autocreate740

Hello Everyone,
As you know, for 2025 the basic theme for all of my blogs will include ideas to support taking action to participate in helping alleviate Climate Change challenges.

Having said that, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and guess what? You can participate by choosing Sustainable Chocolate to give to your loved ones and friends. This is a “win, win” for you and for the Planet by taking part in Climate Action !

So what is Sustainable Chocolate and why choose it to help with Climate Change?
Use the links below to learn more about it and where you can buy it.

A great first step when figuring out if your chocolate was ethically produced is to see if it’s fair-trade. Fair trade chocolate is produced in a way that adheres to certain ethical standards. Fair trade is a safeguard against exploitation and child labor. It guarantees that farmers are paid a fair and living wage, regardless of the market price of cocoa. Farmers are also given higher wages if they produce organic chocolate and an additional premium wage to reinvest in their business.

Plant-Based Eating for the Planet :) & Good Health

Posted on by autocreate740

ALWAYS “News you can use :)…
As Climate Week NYC 2023 comes to a close, I want to remind myself, and those who read my blogs and listen to my Wellness Connections Podcast, that the Climate Change challenges for our planet are ongoing problems, which we can decide to participate in a positive way using some of the suggestions provided on the www regularly. There are ways we can help our planet, and at the same time, introduce ways to improve our health.

Here’s an example

What if I mentioned that Suzy Amis Cameron, in her book The OMD Plan, claims: “swapping one dairy – or meat- based meal for a plant-based meal every day can save your health and the planet”. That’s quite a statement. However, it’s also a suggestion for doing your own research about ways to manage your health. There’s a lot of science supporting the idea for considering her One Day a Meal for the Planet Plan. You can review a pdf of her book and she has considerable information and guidelines for changing your eating habits. Seems to me it’s worth considering what she has to say. Imagine getting a “win-win for the Planet and your health.”

Here’s a pdf link to a glimpse of her book.
