Environment

The Songbird Foundation

The latest craze in coffee-growing is sun-grown coffee which destroys habitats for songbirds. The coffee from shade-grown beans tastes better and saves their habitat. Make an easy donation by just purchasing some coffee at Starbucks. (Mary Chapin's favorite coffee shop!)
