transparency, ethics, philanthropy, humanity and ecology. These are the businesses we need to be supporting, not the ones who put millions into attempting to convince you their wrongs are rights.
ETHICAL BEAN, a coffee company from Canada (they also sell in the USA), is one of those companies we ought to support instead. They’re creating 100% certified compostable single serve pods. Their pods are made from coffee bean chaff and other renewable materials, the entire pod can be thrown directly into the compost bin and will completely break down in a municipal composter in less than 84 days.
[I AIN’T FINISHED]
Delving into this piece on coffee pods has opened a can of worms for me in terms of the ethics and environmental issues around coffee which were astounding. I’m going to work through the information I found in the coming posts this week to share with you, but in the meantime, some of my fellow Ethical Writer’s Coalition homies have also shared stories on Ethical Bean and all their green and gracious goodness, which you can click through to read below. They’re all conscious creatures worth following, so don’t let this click be your last to them!
