This week I explain about the environmental impacts of coffee production and how shade-grown coffee is an important sustainable practice that conserves critical rainforest habitat for our wild birds, especially our migratory songbirds. I discuss the Smithsonian Institute's Bird Friendly Certification Program, the environmental gold standard in sustainable food production, and encourage everyone to support participating local farmers in their environmental stewardship by buying Bird Friendly certified products! Let your beverage choice help save our wild birds and the ecosystems upon which they depend!
