I was invited to
take part in a new BzzAgent BzzCampaign – this one centered around Green
Mountain Coffee and Fair Trade. The
moment I saw the invite flash onto my phone (I have my e-mail synced to my
smartphone) I went onto the website and officially opted into it. I admit I was pretty excited to be part of
this campaign because I am a HUGE coffee lover. Coffee and caffeine run through my veins all
day, every day, so needless to say I was looking forward to receiving my
campaign introduction. I received it the
other day, took my photos of it, and went straight ahead to testing it out the
next morning.
Fair Trade has
started to get a big buzz as of late (and not just in this campaign) especially considering October is Fair Trade Month. It’s being suggested coffee consumers purchase
from Fair Trade suppliers because that ensures you can enjoy your own coffee,
while also making sure to take care of the farmer who cultivated those beans
you’re drinking. By doing this Fair
Trade ensures farmers get a fair price for their beans (meaning coffee manufactures
aren’t nickel and diming the farmers), by doing this farmers working conditions
can improve, there’s assistance in protecting the environment, while it also
aids in supporting the community aiding in creating new schools, roads,
drinking water, etc. Green Mountain
is largely known for promoting this and pushing for it.
There have been two musicians - Grace Potterand Michael Franti who have taken part of the Fair Trade act and traveled over to Colombia and Sumatra to visit the farming communities and get a better understanding of how Fair Trade significantly impacts not only the farmers of coffee beans, but the world and the individual farms communities. The Green Mountain facebook page details the two performers trip, journey and the impact Fair Trade has on farming. Make sure you check out Green Mountains facebook page to see Grace Potter and Michael Franti Fair Trade source trip which also includes a live stream of their concert: https://www.facebook.com/GreenMountainCoffee. One other thing you can get over at the Green Mountain facebook page is coupons off Green Mountain Coffee k-cups and bagged coffee.

In my campaign box,
I received a stack of $1 off manufacturer coupons, a BzzGuide which details
Fair Trade centering around coffee and 3 boxes of K-Cups. The K-Cup boxes house
4 K-Cups in each box and the 3 boxes have the same four flavors in it. The four flavors provided were: Sumatran
Reserve (Extra Bold), Colombian Fair Trade Select, Wild Mountain Blueberry, and
Vermont Country Blend.
In closing, I can say drink responsibly.
