"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, This day will be gone forever; in its place will be something that you have left behind...let it be something good." - Author Unknown

With a little help, chocolate may save Ecuador’s rainforest. As long as the region’s people can earn a living by cultivating cacao they will not have to turn to logging and cattle ranching, the two biggest threats to the remaining rainforest.
...AND YOU'RE SAVING CHOCOLATE!!! ^_^
Speaking of Cholocate, CafeCanopy.com has the MOST delicious chocolate! Their coffee I hear is also great! All their products are organic, and most are grown in the rainforests. The diversity of crops grown together hightens the immunity of each plant, so they don't need or use pesitcides, saving the environment around them! Buying these products helps the rainforest, the environment, the farmers and heightens education! And you get the highest quality!
