Coffee Please

I am happy to announce that I was accepted into another campaign again from BzzAgent.  The campaign this time was for Green Mountain Coffee.  In my bzzagent kit, I got 3, 4 pack boxes of  k-cups of all fair trade coffee and tons of coupons.  There coffee is now fair trade and I think that it is great that they are doing that, plus in my opinion, I think they taste so much better too.  What is Fair Trade you ask, and what are it's benefits?  Well I am glad you asked.

In 2000, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. became one of the first roasters in the U.S. to offer Fair Trade Certified™ coffees. And there now the largest purchaser of Fair Trade Certified™ coffee in the world, purchasing more than 38 million pounds in 2011 alone. Fair Trade helps ensure that farmers get a fair price for their beans. It also improves working conditions, and supports development in farming communities with projects resulting in new schools, roads, health clinics and safer drinker water. All of the above enables farmers to invest in better quality coffee. So while Fair Trade communities enjoy a better quality of life, you enjoy a better quality cup. It's coffee that tastes good and does good too. The benefits go beyond just dollars and cents. Fair Trade growing practices help protect the environment too. Sometimes good coffee really does make the world go 'round.

 You can find a $1 coupon on there Facebook page below.  Also, don't forget to like there page so you can get announcements of when they are giving away free samples of there coffee.  They also took acclaimed musicians Grace Potter and Michael Franti to Colombia and Sumatra to experience why Fair Trade means better coffee for you and a better life for farmers. Learn more about Fair Trade and watch exclusive videos from their travels below.

So happy that  I am not going to have to give up coffee completely if I get pregnant, because I don't know what I would do to get through the day.
