For all you Java heads out there make sure you check these guys out. Not only are they one of the most inventive coffee companies out there. They understand and embrace eco-friendly concepts.
Here is a link to their website and ways they go about protecting the environment:

Also here is a link to the main page:

From all indications they are a very well run company and have a hit on their hands with the Keurig single cup brewers they are selling.
I just wanted to add one more link for Green Mountain as I came across this story from Investor's Business Daily this morning. Talks about a fleet manager at GMCR focusing his drivers on reducing their use of diesel fuel. Good stuff.

Matt- add these guys to the stock watch- symbol GMCR
For some reason, the first link isn't working. I'll try to Google the article.
I did read the story about the fleet manager at GMCR. Good stuff, and so simple. I noticed how he made use of measurement and other quality tools to help bring about the change. Perfect example of how Lean thinking can help with Green or any other improvement activity.
Sorry about that first link... Not sure why it isn't working.
You can access the page from the green mountain home page at the very bottom. Click on Social and Environmental responsibility.
