Starbucks - Hot Coffee Card

A great new way to get your morning coffee fix, protect forests and fight climate change! Purchase the new PRESERVATION gift card from Starbucks® and with each purchase Starbucks will donate 5 cents to Conservation International to help save tropical forests. The gift card is re-loadable, recyclable and made of 80% post-industrial recycled material.

Almost 16% of the world's carbon emissions comes from clearing forests in the areas where some of the best coffee is grown. This initiative will help coffee farmers protect the carbon absorbing tropical forests surrounding their farms.

Conservation International applies innovations in science, economics, policy and community participation to protect the Earth's richest regions of plant and animal diversity in the biodiversity hotspots, wilderness areas and key marine ecosystems. For more info visit: conservation.org.
