Well I love coffee. A lot of people here love their Tim Horton's Coffee, which can barely be counted as coffee in my opinion but to each their own. During our stay in Minneapolis Trisha and I discovered Caribou Coffee, a regional coffee shop that appears to be concerned about the environment. Caribou Coffee was our coffee of choice in Minneapolis, we stopped in three times on Sunday. I must admit Caribou puts a lot of espresso in their specialty coffee's, which I really enjoyed.
Trisha and I were reading about Caribou Coffee in a coffee shop near Solomon's Porch and they have set a goal of being 50% 'fair trade' by 2009. It was refreshing to see that goal set in comparison to Starbucks that appears to only care about the bottom line. I guess it is the imagination of this 'small' coffee chain that is trying to make a difference that impressed me.

Hey Chris,
Now, I may be wrong (I really hope I have my info straight here), but recently, we took our youth to an MCC/Ten Thousand Villages for an evening. We were told there that McDonald's uses 50% fair trade coffee, and I believe Starbucks' name came up as well. Again, research would be needed to confirm, but yeah. The info caught me pleasantly surprised.
Cheers,
Lee
