So if you're planning on incorporating coffee into your wedding in some way shape or form, then consider an organic and/or fair trade coffee. National Geographic has a fairly extensive list of coffee manufacturers that are green in one way or another (which you can read by clicking here). I actually learned a lot from this list. Did you know that some organic coffee growers also make it a point to be "bird friendly"? The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center deems coffee "bird friendly" when it is "shade grown," aka grown under the rain forest canopy. Over 150 species of birds have been found to live in the shade of "traditionally managed coffee and cacao (chocolate) plantations in Chiapas, Mexico, a number exceeded only in undisturbed tropical forests."
So drink your coffee and give a bird a home!
