TWENTY
WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR INTAKE OF BODY CARE CHEMICALS
The UK Guardian has released

Why
drink Shade Grown Coffee? When
you drink shade grown coffee, you know that the coffee is grown with attention
to the soil, the land and its inhabitants. On a typical shade grown farm you will
find the coffee trees grown beneath a taller canopy of trees that provide protection
protection for the coffee and are beneficial to the soil. Equal
Exchange creates and develops long-term relationships with growers in Mexico,
El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Columbia, Peru and Tanzania.
These relations are health to the environment, local wildlife, migratory birds
and to the farmers. Farmers participating in these growing communities have the
opportunity to end cycles of poverty and exposture to chemical fertilizers and
pesticides and preserve the land and soil for future generations. In
Bloomington you can purchase Equal Exchange Coffee at the Runcible Spoon, Soma,
Bloomingfoods, and other locations around town. If you sell or serve Equal Exchange
coffee and would like to be added to our list, please send information to Local
Food. |
