Use your Red Card!!!

Here's an idea to help others. If your'e buying your coffee from STARBUCKS be sure and get the (RED) card. Through 2009 when you use your(STARBUCKS)RED Card five cents will go directly to the Global Fund to help save lives in Africa. Yes Green Living is also about helping others. The (STARBUCKS)RED Card is a stored value Card that can be given as a gift or purchased for personal use at participating stores in the U.S. and Canada.

The (STARBUCKS)RED Card and the multi-year partnership with (RED) is another iteration of the Starbucks™ Shared Planet™ commitment to responsibly serve the communities and people that grow Starbucks® coffee. Contributions from (PRODUCT)RED™ Starbucks products will go directly to the Global Fund to help save lives in Africa, a key coffee growing region for the company. In 2009, Starbucks plans to open Starbucks Farmer Support Centers in Ethiopia and Rwanda.
