Not only do we have an extensive selection of whole bean and ground Fair Trade Certified coffees, but coffee roasted at our Brazil facility comes from a CarbonNeutral certified plant. Since 2007 we transitioned from fossil fuels and have only used renewable fuels to power our roasters, certified by the Carbon Neutral company. Check it out!

We have really been trying this last year to accelerate our efforts, contributing to our recent certification as a Green Business through BBI International. I appreciate those of you who support us in our quest to do what needs to be done, and yet are just scratching the surface. Cheers.

Disposable coffee cups are everywhere, but we rarely realize the bitter impact they impose on our planet. The amount of landfill waste created by coffee cups is astounding! Unfortunately, the buck doesn't stop with waste. Producing paper coffee cups means using natural resources too. Our 2006 coffee habit consumed close to 7 million trees and 4 billion gallons of water! If you'd like to see a complete breakdown, stop by www.SustainabilityIsSexy.com FYI, the 28 billion cup number may be a bit overinflated. It was calculated using survey results and census data. Industry estimates place the number of cups used in 2007 closer to the 16-17 billion range - which is still staggering. Keep up the great work! What a great post!
