CRS and CIAT have pulled out in the lead on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters proposal voting page! (See Jackie’s earlier post for more details.) Thank you for taking action to help CRS and CIAT research ways coffee farmers can prepare and respond to the changing climate. This will help coffee farmers maintain their coffee crop, their livelihood AND keep their delicious coffee flowing straight to your cup.

The voting isn’t over yet and the contest is close because, let’s be honest, there are a lot of great ideas that deserve some funding. Thankfully, you have 10 votes you can cast to support your favorites. Make sure you cast your votes by this Saturday when the voting will end.

If you’ve already voted you can still help spread the word. Just Means lets you email your friends to notify them of the contest. We’ve posted an announcement on the CRS Fair Trade facebook page and Jackie and I have posted the announcement on our personal pages, as well. You can tweet, you can myspace, you can facebook, you can blog, or you can just pick up the phone and call your friends. Whatever you do, this is our chance to do more than drink coffee, we can put into motion something with a much more lasting effect to help coffee farmers.

You won’t find me saying this often, but put down your coffee cup and put your mouse to work!
