Green Tip

The publishers at Rodale have long been on the forefront of the movement towards living a sustainable lifestyle. In their “Health Meets Green Guide: 25 Secrets for Healthy Living on a Healthy Planet” they claim with tip number 22 that the easiest thing anyone can do to help the environment every single day is switch to shade-grown coffee.

“The world’s most popular beverage is actually a shade plant, but coffee makers cut down huge swaths of rainforest so they can grow more coffee by dousing it in chemicals,” Rodale shares. “Buy certified shade-grown coffee and you’ll get chemical-free beans grown without habitat destruction.”
