Coffee is the vice that no matter how much I try and put it deep in the depths of yesteryear, it comes back to haunt me. As a yoga instructor, I have worked countless times to rid myself of this habit that comes in the form of a cup o' joe. Maybe now when I'm craving some coffee I can just throw it on my garden instead. Peace Coffee, a brand of yummy, organic, and fair trade coffee has put out some awesome tips for coffee in the garden, great ways to nourish your garden this spring and summer organically. The company has made huge strides toward green especially with regards to its Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center, its $6-million state-of-the-art green facility. This facility has a host of green virtues, in fact far too many to list. But some stand-outs include 45 percent energy savings over conventional construction, energy recovery ventilation, 100 percent daylit warehouse including skylights with sun-tracking concentrators, and T-8 fluorescent lighting with daylight and occupancy sensors and state-of-the-art energy management system.
