FREE Fair Trade Chocolate (Seriously)!

Halloween rocks! It's not too early to be thinking about your Halloween plans, in fact, I've been trying to decide what to be for weeks now. There are the mainstays of Halloween we all love: costumes, candy, ghoulish goodness. But this year, why not try something a little different with your Halloween and take yourself and/or the kids in your life reverse trick-or-treating?

Reverse trick-or-treating is exactly what it sounds like. You knock on doors and when folks answer, you yell "trick or treat". Except, instead of accepting delicious candy from the adults inside, you give them a piece of Fair Trade chocolate with a card that talks about how Fair Trade chocolate helps prevent slavery and protect the environment. And the best part is, you can get a FREE reverse trick-or-treating kit from the Fair Trade Resource Network, including Fair Trade chocolate to distribute and everything you need to go reverse trick-or-treating.

I love this idea because it's a great and easy way for parents to get their kids involved in social activism (and a way for parents to reduce the overflow of candy that comes with Halloween). It's also a smart way to educate people about the realities of the chocolate industrywith a sweeter (i.e. chocolate flavored) wrapping. Plus, it shows the recipients of the Fair Trade treats that next year there are better alternatives to the chocolate you find in the grocery store.

The deadline for groups to request their kits is October 1 and for individuals it's October 13. But this offer is only valid while the free chocolate lasts, so hurry up and order yours today!

Now if only someone would help me pick out a Halloween costume....
