mmmmMars bars in Australia!

Posted by STOP THE TRAFFIK on March 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Last week (Monday 28^th February 2011) MARS in Australia announced their lovely MARS bars in Australia will carry the Rainforest Alliance logo as of June 2011.

This followed a campaign where STOP THE TRAFFIK Australia sent 30,000 postcards to supporters who then urged MARS to roll out a product that uses cocoa certified as ‘traffik free’. The World Vision ‘Don’t Trade Lives’ campaign also lobbied MARS for this outcome. So all in all, it is a great campaigning success!
