Local Green Coffee Shop Highlighted

Kari Kyle, Proprietress of the Green Bean Coffee Company

In the current issue of Specialty Coffee Retailer, writer Alan Richman sings the praises of the local Green Bean Coffee Company, owned by Kari and Tim Kyle. Kari's attention to sustainability is highlighted, from the large commitments (carrying Green Mountain's organic and fair trade coffees) to the small, everyday acts (bringing reusable shopping bags to the grocery store). It is a very inspiring piece and a nice example of how the local business community has made a comeback - with a green twist.

Richman further gives a good overview of the Green Initiative and lists some of the corporate donors that have been instrumental in helping Greensburg residents get on their feet again with some very green products. We are grateful for how these gifts keep on giving - from the water-saving bathroom fixtures from Caroma and Evolve, to the green cleaning influences of TADgreen, Quick n Brite, and the OneCleanWorld Foundation. Also spelled out in the article are the contributions from Viega, the Glass reFactory, Ogden Publications, and several other generous donors. We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Greensburg is being rebuilt on a foundation of generosity.
