Happy Earth Day
Hub took this shot of the Equal Exchange booth outside Grand Central Station when I wasn’t looking. I don’t know why I look so pained (Plight! Of! Coffee! Farmers!) but damn, my hair looks cute from this angle (or at least slightly less like Yoko Ono’s Bad Hair Day). We must have given out 342,031 cups of organic, fair-trade coffee by this point and the natives were getting restless for dark chocolate minis.
Props and thanks to Scott, Megan, Zach, and Julia for being totally awesome. (And of course to my supertrooper, who didn’t complain when we stayed an extra hour.)
Update: Scott just e-mailed me to say we gave away 5 GALLONS of fair-trade, organic java!

How are your feet? Your back? I was in pain after the festival last weekend. Hope it went well!

methinks the worsted witch should have a cauldron of freetrade coffee with dry ice nearby while handing out samples…it would make a great visual. Anyway, sounds like you may have planted lots of seeds, lets hope they germinate into consumers with a conscience. Good work!

[...] In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I have been a dedicated drinker of the coffee grown by Meskela’s farmers, which is roasted by the fair-trade-supporting Equal Exchange, since my first taste on Earth Day in April. [...]
