Carbon neutral yummy chocolate

I am writing a blog after a long time. Tonight, I had a bit of this chocolate and I am so inspired to write this short entry. I saw this last week at Spiral diner and I somehow controlled my urge to buy it. When I went to Whole foods, it was at the bottom shelf on sale and I grabbed it without thinking twice. After having this, I am spoilt. I am not going to have any other chocolate.

It says on the cover that its organic, fair trade, small farmer grown and all the good stuff. When I opened it, I was surprised to find the inner foil with this print "This biodegradable packaging is produced with renewable materials made from sustainable harvested wood".

Chocolate is one of the few items that I buy, the packaging of which is not recyclable in residential recycling since most curbside pickup does not accept food foil even if cleaned. So, now that problem is solved with this bar. Now, I can really go near zero waste!

In my love for the package, I forgot to mention that the chocolate is phenomenal! Love it! I am going to keep patronizing this brand until it moves up the shelves in Whole Foods.
