Today we welcome Steve Taylor of Taylor Made Chocolate based in Chesterfield, VA. Steve used to work at a the company I am at, Alfa Laval, and one day he told them that he was retiring.... to start a chocolate company with a mission to fight human trafficking. When I heard about this recently, I knew right away that I wanted to interview him for ReDOable Resources. Sustainability is also about creating conditions for human beings to thrive and survive, and this sounded like it was spot on.The chocolate industry has... a lot of issues. Just watch the episode of the Netflix series Rotten about chocolate and you'll see what I mean. Steve knew this and he made it a mission with his wife to create chocolate that was only used using sustainable sources. All profits from his company are used to fund human freedom projects.

His story is one that starts from a sad place of learning about the horrors of human trafficking, to one of hope where his company has made it their mission to do something about it.

The emotion I felt during this episode was deep and you won't want to miss it. Make sure to support his mission: www.tmchocolate.com

We wrap up the episode with a little story about scientists that have discovered bacteria that will make recycling some plastics a much more sustainable endeavor.
