Starting today, thousands of Americans who typically stop at Starbucks on their way to work can use their morning cup of coffee not only to wake up, but to make an impact for the planet: Now, helping to conserve the world’s tropical forests is as easy as drinking your morning cup of Joe.
The Conservation International Starbucks Card works like any other Starbucks card, but with two advantages.
- Every card is made from 80% post-industrial recycled materials – helping you reduce your waste without even knowing it.
- For every purchase you make with your card, Starbucks will donate five cents to help CI protect tropical forests.
In a world where deforestation accounts for 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions – more than the entire transportation sector combined – protecting standing forests is crucial not only for the prosperity of local communities, but for the well-being of people from Pennsylvania to Paris to Peru.
Using this card gives you another small opportunity to make a big difference for forest protection – one of Team Earth’s six challenges to combat climate change.

What a great idea! Keep up the good work.
is this idea going to be in every Starbucks around the world? because here in Perú, I haven’t see the Starbucks card, so how I am going to help my world drinking my coffee every day?
I think it’s a great idea but many countries have no such support.
I will tell everyone I know Please do the same
i think its a great idea about donating money to the forest with every cup..
But i think i’ll be better if every cup we drink wouldn’t be waste, I mean if
We could recycled each cup, and use green materials in order not to
kill any of those trees….
I would like to see them do other drinks besides cofee I don’t drink the vile stuff
Will this work worldwide? If it is I’m in! I think cups should be recycled, starbucks uses a LOT of cardboard to serve coffee and it would make a great impact to recycle the cups.
Everyone should care more and increase their Green Efforts.
Goods Ideas!!!!! I did buy 40 cards for bridal shower favors gift. I am shure everyone will get a good use of it.
