The only reason people are willing to make sacrifices to do this are because of dramatic pictures of cute animals.

It has _absolutely_ nothing to do with good #environmental #policy.

Durable plastic bags still produce #microplastics. Canvas bags use truly stunning amounts of water.

The actual truth is that single use #plastics are often _orders of magnitude_ more #environmentally friendly than durable alternatives.

For example, if you are hosting a party and want to know reduce your environmental impact, a hundred #SoloCups are _massively_ better for the environment than a hundred ceramic cups - unless you are hosting parties weekly.

At the centre of it all is the farmers. #Cocoa farmers are often older, busy people (cocoa farming alone is rarely enough to pay the bills), and have to make careful decisions about yield versus labour and other inputs. We're discussing the priorities, and what areas farmers feel warrant research and training focus.

Ultimately, what we are hoping is to identify a route to #environmentally and economically #sustainable cocoa #pollination.
