Introducing Climate Change Chocolate: New Bloomsberry & Co. Premium Dark & Milk Chocolate Bars Help Chocolate Lovers Learn how to Fight Global Warming

Salem, MA – It just got easier for consumers to help the environment and eat their chocolate too. Bloomsberry & Co., best known for its premium chocolate and award-winning packaging and Terrapass, Inc., the leading consumer retailer and marketer of greenhouse gas reduction offsets, have partnered on a chocolate bar that helps educate consumers on how to reduce their carbon footprint. The new all natural premium Climate Change Chocolate bars are the first of their kind to support the fight against global warming.

“The new Climate Change Chocolate bar is a sweet way to join the battle against global warming,” said Paul Pruett, chief executive officer of Bloomsberry.Available in 3.5 ounce all natural dark and milk chocolate, each bar comes wrapped with 15 tips for reducing your carbon footprint and an offset for 133 pounds of verified carbon, the amount emitted by an average American in one day. The TerraPass offsets fund clean energy and efficiency projects such as wind farms and methane digesters that result in verified reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Change Chocolate is being introduced this month. The bars will retail for $4.95. “Launching this new concept at this time makes sense,” said Pruett. “We’re honored to participate and hope that the Terrapass partnership can make a significant difference by promoting more dialogue and action on global warming.”
