We had some Birds and Beans Certified Bird Friendly Coffee this weekend at
the citizen science expo which was so fresh and flavourful that my wife is
now hooked also.
David Pritchard, prez of Birds and Beans, is really excited about all the
interest that is being shown out here. He was excellent to deal with and
even paid for express shipping to get it to NS in time for our event.
Having this now available in NS is a great step; now is a great time to be
thinking about how we can be promoting this...
As a side note, I think we should be taking this opportunity to rate the
spectrum of coffees available in NS in terms of their impact on (or
benefits to) birds. Although Bird Friendly Certified is likely the most
beneficial to birds, organic and fair trade products still probably rate
much lower, in terms of impacts on birds, than do products that are not.
What would be valuable is a rating system that helps people to make the
optimal decision when given a choice between Tim Horton's, McDonalds,
Laughing Whale, JustUs!, T.A.N, Folgers and Starbucks. Knowing these
differences might also help influence demand.
Seafood folks have done a good job at doing this type of thing to help
people make wiser seafood choices - (e.g.,
http://www.seachoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SC_card_2012_5panel_web.pdf).
I'd like to see one for coffee put forth by some of the strong voices in
the NS bird world...
cheers,
