Allie’s Answers

Turn your morning ritual into an earth-friendly one.

Start by switching over to Fair Trade organic beans, like Newman’s Own Organics Coffee.

According to Nell Newman:

“Fair Trade certification means that farmers in coffee producing countries worldwide can enjoy a better life.”

Newman’s Own Organics uses the profit from their coffee to help women in Oaxaca, Mexico raise chickens organically, to strengthen their household income and provide their families with a healthy source of protein. You can find Newman’s Own Coffee in many of your local stores, and here.

Next, switch to a reusable coffee filter made of cotton, hemp, or gold.

And if you like your coffee light and sweet, use organic milk or soymilk, and organic sugar or sucanat.

Enjoy!
