Coffee Community Engagement

Saving the planet is not a choice. How you do it is! Each and every one of us can view ourselves as a social entrepreneur and share the challenge of slowing the crisis of social and environmental degradation. As the coffee industry takes the leadership role and moves into a green business model, we all have the opportunity to engage on line and support one or more of the coffee NGOs.
Government, foundations, religion, and science will not solve the global problems alone. We will all help. Lines are blurring between For Profits and Non Profits and the good news is we can lift the supply chain from tree to cup.
