We data scientists at EcoCounts have discovered a correlation between people drinking tea and coffee in coffee shops and a force for good in this world. Such customers supporting local businesses help them care for their staff, protect the environment, and contribute to positive change in both local and coffee- and tea-growing communities.
- Luminary Bakery in Stoke Newington support women facing poverty and abuse
- Redemption Roasters on Lambs Conduit Street supports a women-led coffee cooperative, offering alternatives to coca farming in Colombia
- They also work with young offenders and prison leavers
- Red Roaster in Brighton has built a circular economy with their growers in Rwanda
- SEND and Fair Shot in London pay the Real Living Wage and support young adults with learning disabilities
- Evolve in Birmingham donate 100% of their profits to local initiatives
Local coffee shops and cafés connect people and places and help spread these good values through society to combat the barely controlled drive for profits we are all too familiar with.
