JAMming for an Ethical Easter
JAMming for an Ethical Easter
Did you know Australians consume over $3 billion worth of chocolate each year? That’s an average of 32kg per person! Sadly, an estimated 2 million children work as labourers in cacao harvesting around the world to meet this demand. The good news is that there are now more ethical chocolates available than ever before.
In the lead up to Easter, JAM students are learning all about the various ethically certified Easter eggs that are available. This week, students are visiting their local supermarkets to conduct an ethical Easter egg audit.
On Friday, we will compare our results and engage in a simple advocacy activity – writing postcards to supermarkets – either thanking them for stocking ethical Easter eggs this year or asking them to consider doing so in the future.
How can you get involved?
- Email Gabby to get a copy of your own Ethical Easter Egg audit [email protected]
- Come along to JAM on Friday and get involved in our Ethical Easter Egg advocacy initiative
- Check the label when you shop – buy ethically certified eggs this Easter!
- Donate ethical eggs to Catholic Charities this year – that way you are supporting families in need here in Adelaide and in other parts of the world at the same time.
