Biggby Coffee on Earth Week

Below is a pleasant Email sent out by non other than Biggby Coffee…Each morning I receive coupons and specials for the week for Biggby Coffee. To be honest I normally open the Email when it has an enticing “subject line…” and today was one of those days.

A great example of a company living/working “green.” Thank you Biggby for all that you do!

The 40^th anniversary of Earth Day is this Thursday, April 22^nd. There are ways that we can all work on being more “green” in our daily lives. Here are things that we are doing at BIGGBY COFFEE locations to help B more green (varies by location):

Brewing “certified” coffee. This means if you buy or drink our certified Organic coffee you know it was grown using sustainable standards. Buy or coffee in bulk or try it at our stores - the Costa Rica and French Roast are both Organic!
Customers use a re-useable BIGGBY COFFEE mug. Now until Sunday the 25th go to www.biggby.com and Buy One Mug and get your 2^nd mug of equal or lesser value for FREE! ! Just make a note in the comments section when purchasing that you are B-eing green and we will send you a confirmation e-mail for with your final cost. You will only be charged for the higher priced mug as well as sales tax and shipping. WOO HOO!
