This is an old e-action – we asked people who shop at Woolworths, Foodtown or Countdown supermarkets, to send an email to Progressive Enterprises asking them to stock more Fairtrade products. A total of 589 emails were sent to Progressive Enterprises as a result of this e-action.

Chocolate kisses: You told the chocolate industry to switch to Fairtrade
Over the last two years, more than 7,000 Kiwis have puckered up to show their support for Fairtrade. You have added your names to Oxfam’s chocolate kiss petition, calling on the chocolate industry to start using Fairtrade cocoa in their chocolate.
On Valentine’s Day, Oxfam and Goldenhorse singer Kirsten Morrell handed your kisses to chocolate giant Nestle, who is currently being sued for alleged involvement in cocoa slavery in the Ivory Coast. Nestle refused to comment.
Oxfam is continuing to ask the chocolate industry to switch to Fairtrade, but we need your help.
- Send a letter or an email to the makers of your favourite chocolate bar asking them to switch to Fairtrade. A personal letter or email can have a strong impact. You can find the address on the back of most chocolate wrappers.
