Drink Better Coffee, Save the World
If you’re going to spend a little more for better coffee in your office, make an eco-trifecta: fair-trade certified, organic, and shade grown.
Fair trade ensures workers make a living wage (and that their children go to school instead of picking beans). Ten years ago, coffee growers received 40% of the industry’s income; today, they get only 16%. Organic is grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers, assuring the health of the soil, farmers and consumers. Growing coffee in the shade enhances flavor because shrubs mature more slowly than those grown in the full sun, resulting a smoother, less-bitter taste. It also reduces clear-cutting in rainforests, which protects migratory bird habitats. All of the companies listed below offer corporate programs.
Eco Impact - Purchasing one cup of coffee everyday in a disposable container contributes about 23 pounds of waste per year.
