Five winners will be randomly chosen on Earth Day, April 22. Each lucky winner will receive one pound of RainForest Colombian coffee, roasted fresh at Zabar’s.

This is a very delicious coffee. I’ve been drinking it lately. And if you prefer light roasts, this is a perfect choice for you. Besides the wonderful taste (and I’m not just saying that), this coffee is great because it’s certified by the Rainforest Alliance.

The Rainforest Alliance works worldwide to protect the rain forest while also ensuring sustainable livelihoods of people who depend on rain forest land. They do this by helping to transform land-use practices. The Rainforest Alliance helps people change the way they grow food, host travelers and harvest wood. Read more about their approach. Also, look at their Marketplace to see where you can find Rainforest Alliance-certified products.

The Rainforest Alliance and the people getting certified are working really hard to conserve the rain forest, home to endangered animals and plants found nowhere else on Earth. The rain forest also helps regulate the Earth’s temperature and weather patterns. All you have to do to help is vote with your dollar by choosing products (like coffee, tea, chocolate and more) that are certified by the Rainforest Alliance. And thanks to Zabar’s, five lucky winners will try their RainForest Colombian coffee for free.

Here’s How to Enter:

First, please note: The coffee will be shipped from Zabar’s to winners in the Continental United States. Please don’t enter if you live outside of the Continental United States.

To enter, leave a comment on this post before midnight CST on Monday, April 21. If you have a favorite rain forest animal, let us know. It’s not required though. You can just tell us how much you love coffee if you want. I’m making it easy. Any nice comment that’s not spam is accepted, but please only enter once.

Five winners will be randomly selected on Earth Day, April 22. Each winner will receive one pound of Zabar’s RainForest Colombian coffee. If you’re a lucky winner, look for your delicious beans to be shipped from Zabar’s!
