darrell lea for easter bilbies - 10:38 AM
(filed under 'green living')
yesterday, at smiley's thursday home education group, we had a man there called frank, who works to save the endangered bilby.
one interesting thing that he told us was that if you buy chocolate easter bilbies this easter, to make sure you buy them darrell lea, not from any of the other big chain supermarkets.
the reason being is that if you get one from darrell lea, they donate 30c or 50c (depending on the size you buy) from the sale of each bilby to the save the bilby fund. if you buy it from anyone else, they don't get a cent.
he told us that he's been working for years to try to get coles & woollies to get in on the act to help out, but they're (so far) not interested. same with cadbury. yes, cadbury make the nicest chocolate, but it seems they're a bit mean when it comes to helping to save one of our native australian animals which is near extinction.
so support the save the bilby fund by buying an easter bilby (not a rabbit!) from darrell lea.
