Eat Chocolate for the Environment

Chocolate is an indulgence that many enjoy, but for some a feeling of regret accompanies partaking in such a guilty pleasure.  The efforts of Original Beans Inc., a new premium chocolatier based in San Francisco, could help change those negative emotions.  For every purchase of an Original Beans bar - priced at $13 per 3.5 ounces - the company promises to plant a tree in the forest where the bar's ingredients were farmed.  Customers can also track the origins of their bar by entering its lot number on the Original Beans website.

Sounds like a great idea to me; I'm more than willing to help the environment by eating chocolate.  You can read more about this novel concept in a recent San Francisco Chronicle article.
