This year we are celebrating Mardi Gras with our seasonal Big Chief offering. A unique blend of coffees from Colombia, Papua New Guinea, and Honduras, three of our favorite origins! This blend of coffee is guaranteed to keep you moving through the carnival season!
This year we are working with local recycling company Glass Half Full and their non-profit partner Glass Roots. Glass Roots provides recycling pickup points and education across the city. Glass Half Full has taken on the much needed initiative of recycling glass in the city of New Orleans. Going even further they have used the recycled glass to help restore Louisiana’s eroding coastline. We have teamed up with up Glass Half Full before donating our Burlap Coffee bags. The burlap bags were filled with recycled glass sand and used as a barrier wall to help restore the Louisiana coast, which was damaged by Hurricane Ida. The wall will collect sediment and over time provide a protective barrier for the new plants while they grow.
Glass Half Full and their non-profit partner Glass Roots mission is simple.
“We founded Glass Half Full in 2020 to pursue our goal of recycling New Orleans' glass. After collecting over 600,000 pounds of glass during our first year of operations, we were determined to magnify our impact beyond what could be achieved as a low-profit, social enterprise. In 2021, we founded Glassroots, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, to expand access to recycling through educational opportunities and to partner directly with communities to ensure our services benefit people and the environments they live in.
Recycling takes a village and that’s why we engage the local community at every step. We are a glassroots movement to not only divert waste from landfills but educate and empower recyclers around the country. When individuals unite, there is no stopping us!”
