Billed as the world’s first carbon-negative coffee when it made its debut seven months ago, Tiny Footprint Coffee is living up to its promise in rebuilding the global environment. With sales of more than 2,000 lbs. of coffee per month, Tiny Footprint estimates it will plant more than 2,000 carbon-sucking trees in Ecuador’s Mindo Cloudforest.
What exactly is Tiny Footprint’s formula for environmental sustainability? It’s all in the math. On average, it takes four pounds of carbon to make one pound of coffee. With the purchase of its coffee, Tiny Footprint makes a contribution toward the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation to plant new trees. Trees that remove, on average, 54 pounds of carbon from our Earth’s atmosphere.
So, 54 pounds of carbon removal, minus the 4 pounds of carbon it takes to ship and roast Tiny Footprint, equals 50 pounds of ecological goodness that Tiny Footprint drinkers are contributing to the environment with every sip of Tiny Footprint Coffee.
In addition to siphoning massive amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, the trees planted through the purchase of Tiny Footprint Coffee will serve an even larger purpose by helping to reclaim a large tract of Ecuadorian Cloudforest lost long ago to deforestation. The Mindo Cloudforest provides sanctuary to hundreds of species of birds and indigenous animals. Managing the Cloudforest's growth and redevelopment will create job opportunities in surrounding communities, easing poverty and improving quality of life.
