Two special offers from Birds & Beans

Birds & Beans -- which sells only triple-certified coffee (Bird-Friendly and organic, and either Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance) -- is running two limited-time specials.

1. The first 150 customers ordering 3 bags of coffee or more in a single order will get a free, autographed, hardcover copy of Bridget Stutchbury’s Silence of the Songbirds: How We Are Losing the World's Songbirds and What We Can Do to Save Them. Stutchbury, a researcher at York University, is one of Birds & Beans'  "Voices for the Birds" spokespersons. Her book reveals how we are losing the world’s songbirds, why this predicts widespread environmental problems, and what we can do to save the birds and their habitats. Cover price is $24.95.
2. Fifteen customers correctly identifying all the migratory songbirds on the Birds & Beans “The Birds” page get a free 2lb bag of the Birds & Beans coffee of their choice. Employees of their conservation partners not eligible, send in your entry to ‘bill AT birdsandbeans’ by December 25th. Winners will be drawn at random from all correct entries and announced January 1, 2010.

Take advantage of these offers and try out some sustainably-grown coffee for the holidays. We reviewed them here.

And don't forget to support the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and a Guatemalean tree-planting project through your purchase of another Bird-Friendly coffee, Counter Culture's Holiday Blend 2009. Details here.
