Looking for a way to thank a friend who saved your spot on the parade route or let you crash on the couch after a night of Mardi Gras debauchery?
Well, look no further than the green businesses that call New Orleans home!
For a friend who's done good by you, why not do Chocolates For Good for them?
Chocolates For Good is a small business owned by New Orleans natives specializing in gourmet, organic chocolates with excellent and exotic fillings, shapes, and flavors.
The cacao used in their dark and milk chocolates is farmed using sustainable practices (i.e. - as kind to Mama Earth as it is to your tastebuds) and the farmers are paid equitably for their labor and product.
And, as if that weren't enough, Chocolates for Good donates a portion of their profits to the 4NOLA campaign and Boys Hope Girls Hope of New Orleans.
So, when you indulge in these exquisite chocolates, or send them to a Mardi Gras host or hostess that you want to thank royally, you'll not only be supporting a local business, you'll be supporting a cleaner, fairer planet and a better New Orleans.
Remember, we teach not just with what we say but, often more powerfully, with what we do.
