Green: Coffee Shops

Specifically Starbucks, but here are some things you should do, besides avoiding Starbucks itself.

1: Ask for fair trade coffee/tea whenever you go to a Starbucks. They have a kinda secret policy that says that whenever someone asks for fair trade, the barista has to make some fair trade beverages for you.

2: Bring your own damn mug. Those wax paper cups really add up, think of how much you and the rest of the trafficking customers waste, in both recyclable material and energy and stuff

2b: side note, do the same for grocery stores, that is to say, bring your own damn bag. Personalizing your tote or mug makes it a lot more fun by the way, check out Threadbangers if you want.

3: Check out www.treehugger.com if you know what's good for you

4: I'm sick, keep away from me

5: tell me what color you think my sweater is.

@duffdeluxe thats doesnt mean it wasnt traded fairly and the farmer paid well for his quality crop, just that it isnt "fair trade" the brand that doesnt reward farmers for quality, its for commodity coffee, ie junk.

the best coffee and tea in the world is NOT fair trade.

Sounds to me that there's nothing fair about "fair trade coffe"! What you are referring to is "Socialist" coffee. The non fair trade coffee is "Free World" coffee, otherwise know as "CAPITALIST" coffee. The price of any comodity fluctuates and the growers knew this when they planted the crops! Nobody cries when the price of oil drops. Question? why not move to where socialism is already praticed? Why is it that none of you commie pricks will take the plunge alone?

Paper bags rule! #1 they're a renewable resource: #2 they're biodegradable and #3 paper comes from "managed' forest. To the libtards watching that means that the trees used to make the bags and most paper items are harvested like a crop. They replant and rotate their crops therefore there is no net loss of trees.

Canadians have been used to the idea of using a cloth bag for a year now for their groceries.There was this guy on a commercial that had an idea to reduce or eventually get rid of the plastic bags and replace with a strong cloth bag to save billions of bags from going to the landfill. I am proud to say that I have been using my green bag a year now. Although there were a few times I have forgotten my bags ek! Thankyou chris for your inspiration.(for colds use herbal tea and soup for next time:)

Hey, love what you're saying, but find myself switching off a little (really sorry). I expect it's cos you were sick that day.

Be confident in what you're saying , be bold and see if you can re-shoot it and keep it to 2-3 minutes! I would love to put you on our facebook group. TRADE NOT AID
