COOL EARTH COFFEE
Buy one jar get one tree
Support Cool Earth Coffee now sold on line and in 600 Tesco stores throughout the UK. With every jar sold a endangered rainforest tree is protected in the Amazon. Cool Earth is going up against the big brand giants on the supermarket shelves, to turn the nation's coffee drinkers into rainforest rescuers.
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
