Every Wednesday the Marketing Team (made up of Steve Hawthorne & Christie Boivin) treks to the stores to set up new displays, signage, make repairs and brainstorm new ideas. However; yesterday we did something out of the ordinary. We set up our new Compost Coffee Displays. Yes, the bright green garbage cans--you can t miss them. The display itself is pretty exciting, but what is inside is even better! When our baristas have finished brewing coffee or pulling shots of espresso, the coffee grounds are dumped into a bag and are put in the green compost bins that you see below: 

So if you have a green thumb or not, check it out. The grounds are FREE! No gimmicks or anything, I promise. Well... take that back- you might want to get a cup of coffee first before you start to mess around in your garden for hours-your call! If you would like some more information about coffee composting, we have informational sheets on the display as well as in previous blog posting.
