LEOPARDS

You guys are nuts.

Are they paying you anything?

what did you say in your 50 words then?? <<nosey>>

Yes Kerry, we have had a brief about snakes. We may not come back alive, then you you will be glad you never won

honey I didn't even entertain the THOUGHT of entering

but i've sense

Just that I wanted to see myself how the rain forest alliance made a difference, then I could tell my children it was worth supporting.

Gobsmacked I was

they cut down the rain forest to grow coffee don't they?

never mind 'honey', obviously entitled to your own opinion.

have a fantastic time and looking forward to seeing the results when you get back. Will be a trip of a lifetime.

am still very as I only didn't enter because of the imminent arrival of DC3.

Here

"Rainforest Alliance also has environmental criteria, although organic certification is not required, and a coffee may carry the seal and only contain 30% certified beans. Look for coffee that says it is 100% Rainforest Alliance certified, and/or certified organic. Beware that some of the large commodity coffee providers (such as Kraft, which markets Yuban coffee) use the Rainforest Alliance seal, but only purchase a tiny fraction of their supply from sustainable sources. It's great that they buy some, but their overall business practices do more harm than good, and I cannot endorse their coffees at this time."

Wonder if Kenco is the same as Yuban?

"These counties are more likely to grow sun coffee, and unless they are Smithsonian Bird-Friendly certified, it's probably best to avoid them:

Costa Rica
Brazil
Colombia
Vietnam"

Sun Coffee mean they DEVASTATE THE RAIN FOREST.

It is NOT a matter of opinion actually.

I have a message from the fishy one
