Jeremiah's Pick Coffee is Now Carbon Neutral

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 -- Jeremiah's Pick Coffee Co. of San Francisco announced that effective 2008, its business operations would be carbon neutral. Carbon neutral businesses purchase carbon offsets, helping to create clean energy and to offset the tons of carbon dioxide that are created by burning fossil fuels. Examples of clean energy include wind farms and farm power created by methane digesters. Jeremiah's Pick has purchased carbon offset credits from San Francisco based TerraPass for 2008.

Jules Kragen, CEO of Jeremiah's Pick commented, "Global warming is an issue that is not going to go away unless every person and every business starts to meet it head on. Each business has a choice, to hide its head in the sand and hope or to take steps to begin dealing with this complex and ultimately catastrophic issue. We are proud to be working with TerraPass to make our contribution and encourage every small and medium sized business to do the same. We will be taking steps to reduce our energy use and shrink our carbon footprint over the coming years in conjunction with the use of offsets.

"We applaud Jeremiah's Pick for taking responsibility for its carbon footprint," said TerraPass CEO Erik Blachford. "They are proving that small businesses can be an important part of the solution to global warming. We are very pleased they chose TerraPass to help them balance out their carbon emissions."

Home Coffee Grinder Buying Guide For Serious Coffee Drinkers.
Serious coffee drinkers wouldn?t consider anything less than grinding their own beans at home. Grinding beans does take a bit more time but as any connoisseur will tell you, it is well worth the effort. The reason for this is that coffee beans like any other food product oxidize when they are exposed to the air. Once the beans have been ground they have a much larger relative surface area than the unground bean plus there is no outer layer of protection so they suffer this effect even more.
