I personally have found the greatest meaning working with people actively sequestering carbon into ground by using grazing ungulates as a tool – pulling free carbon out of the atmosphere nd putting into the ground through plant exudates while simultaneously NOT using fire as a tool to burn dry and decadent grasses, and putting more carbon into the [...] Pondering Biofuel from Coffee Ever exploring what we can do with our by product at the Buena Vista Roastery, we peruse the Internet. This morning I came across another article on biodiesel from spent coffee grounds, this one from The Economist. Our current roasting facility is not set up for major retail.

Bongo Billy’s Coffees has been selling organics for over a decade and we were the second roasters to offer Fair Trade certified coffees in Colorado. We have had people proclaim that will do business with people who only offer organics, [...] I learned more about a mandatory carbon offset that I had to pay to go to a Specialty Coffee Conference. Last May was the first conference I had attended, and was coincidentally the first SCAA Conference to require a carbon offset.

Green will mean different things to different people. On someone’s scale we will be neon, on someone else’s, a dull sage. In any case, there is always room for improvement in my eyes, and through the balancing [...] I know Localness is not a real word. But local coffee may be just as real a concept. It depends heavily on the boundaries that we the consumer define as acceptable and okay. Consumers will define ‘local’ upteen ways, and then the retailer or wholesaler has to decide which definitions fit his or her business [...] |
