Here’s another way you can get free fair trade chocolate this Valentine’s Day — This time just for lending $20 — which you’ll get back WITH INTEREST!
MicroPlace, a Kiva-like business that lets you to make microloans to the working poor AND get a one to three percent return on your investment, is offering a sweet deal called Invest With Your Heart – A Different Way to Show Love.” All you have to do is invest $20 or more at microplace.com/gift — and do it in honor of a loved one. The money you invest will stay your own loan, but the honoree will get a box of fair trade chocolate hearts from Divine Chocolate plus a gift card about microfinance.
Find out more about MicroPlace in “Small Change Changes the World,” an article I wrote for Whole Life Times last December. And don’t forget about the two other ways you can score free fair trade chocolate this month!
What a great idea! Plus, Devine chocolate is lush. Thanks for posting this – I was having trouble coming up with a gift idea.

Divine is awesome :) I’d buy chocolate more often, but I feel it makes me too hyper — before making me crash –
