Chocolate: How Your Conscientious Consumption of 
Chocolate Can Change the World! Did you know that 
U.S. consumers eat 2.8 billion pounds of 
chocolate every year? On Friday, September 21st, at 9:00 am, PST,

  Sustainable World will air an interview with 
Dr. Tom Neuhaus, the co-owner of Sweet Earth 
Organic Chocolates, the only uniquely Fair 
Trade/Organic artisan chocolatier in the U.S. Tom 
Neuhaus is also the president and founder of 
Project Hope & Fairness, an all-volunteer 
organization that helps exploited African cocoa 
farmers, encourages the conscientious consumption 
of cocoa products, and supports Fair Trade policies.

Tom is trying to stimulate interest among 
Americans, Canadians, and Europeans in the life 
of cocoa farmers." The purpose of Project Hope 
and Fairness “is not to do charity, which 
sometimes implies the superiority of the giver. 
Instead, it is an exploration of ways to build 
social, spiritual, and commercial links between 
consumers and producers. Our long-term goal is to 
move the cocoa business from its current 
post-colonial exploitative relationships to the 
new business model called "social 
entrepreneurship." Chocolate lovers of the world 
unite! Tune in to learn how your eating habits 
and choices can create positive change on a global level.
