5 Sustainable Chocolate Brands To Try In 2020; this year many of us are making that extra effort to be ethical and environmentally friendly, here’s how you can do so while indulging!

Last year saw many people in the UK move towards a more sustainable lifestyle. We opened our eyes to the damage we were causing to our global environment. Plastic straws were ditched, single use plastic was outlawed, and the iconic Starbucks cup was quickly replaced by reusable varieties. We also began to raise our voices more and more about unfair practices in unsustainable farming.

With veganism and plant-based eating on the rise, it’s inevitable that the average consumer will become more interested in ethical eating in 2020. Ethical eating doesn’t have to be restricted to having our dinner on Meatless Monday or throughout Veganuary though. It can extend to every branch of our individual diets, where reasonable and affordable of course.

Chocolate is a controversial subject in the discussion of sustainable consumption, but it remains a staple in the British diet. It is the product of far-flung imports and typically terrible treatment of farmers. However, many British-based or British-linked companies are making moves to improve the ethics and sustainability of the cocoa they farm and conditions of the people they employ.
