“While traveling the world and looking for the best ingredients, we found that many producers who care about quality also care about sustainability. We discovered that by choosing the best ingredients we had reduced our carbon footprint. A few more changes, and we cut our carbon footprint in half! Then we realized that if everyone did this, it would have a big effect on climate change. Little changes add up to something big. Little things matter. We could save the world, one cookie at a time.”
