Thank you, Yvonne, for mentioning this again. Seattle Audubon also carries
a shade-grown coffee.

The New York Times ran an article about this subject on July 27. Three
cheers for Carolee Colter, the Migratory Bird Chair for SAS! The article
mentioned that a Starbucks representative said that they had never been
approached about carrying shade-grown coffee. Not true! Many Tweeters and
other concerned coffee-drinkers and others have pelted Starbucks during
the last year about this.

I do NOT want to start another off-topic thread now. But I would ask that
anybody who goes into Starbucks --or any other popular coffee place--
request shade-grown coffee. The subject is heating up! Uh, percolating?

Thanks. EB
