To ensure that the principles of Earth Day last all year long – Starbucks and CI are joining together with your help to plant trees in the coffee-growing communities of Chiapas, Mexico. This effort will contribute to the protection and restoration of forests, preserve rich biodiversity, and address the critical issue of climate change.
DONATE NOW: You can support this program with a donation right now. $10 means 10 trees for the Chiapas community.
Did you know that more than 20% of all carbon dioxide emissions come from the burning and clearing of forests? That's more than from all of the world’s cars, trucks, SUVs, and trains combined. Starbucks investment in and support for local coffee growers and the communities that help keep forests intact will help ensure that every cup of coffee they brew produces tangible benefits for both local and global communities.
Starbucks and Conservation International efforts together extend far beyond the coffee shop to the rich landscapes that surround and nurture the most important coffee-growing regions in the world.
As the newest responsibly grown and ethically traded Starbucks coffee, Pike Place Roast is available in company-owned stores across the United States and is one example of the company’s responsible approach to buying coffee. It is an indication of Starbucks' ongoing commitment to creating a better future for farmers and a more stable climate for our planet.
Since 1998, CI and Starbucks have been collaborating to demonstrate that coffee can be grown in ways that support communities and preserve the environment. Through this next phase of collaboration with CI, Starbucks extends its leadership in sustainable sourcing to promote the protection of forests as a solution to climate change.
