This bold move is to grab the attention of the country's shoppers and harness their love of coffee to save endangered tropical forest.
The sale of each jar of Cool Earth coffee protects a tree at risk of being logged in the Amazon rainforest. The charity believes this is one of the most powerful environmental products you can put in your shopping basket. Check out our coffee website where you can buy jars and tubs coolearth.org/coffee
