What a wonderful surprise this morning to open my Green America newsletter and see that CRS Fair Trade Coffee Partner, Grounds for Change of Poulsbo, WA is one of the top ten nominees for Green America’s Green Business of the Year award! Ok, maybe I wasn’t all that surprised at the nomination. Not only is Grounds for Change fully committed to Fair Trade, but specializes in fantastic shade-grown and organic coffees. They were also the first coffee company in the U.S. to have their coffee certified carbon free, from the coffee plant to the bag that arrives at your house.

They’re a fantastic example of how green a business can be. We think they deserve a round of applause and a vote for Green Business of the Year! Place your vote now!

A big congratulations to the other 9 businesses that were also nominated for the award.  And an apology, because as a CRS Coffee Partner, Grounds for Change is getting all our votes!!
