NEWS: CHANGING THE WORLD WITH COMEDY, CROSS-STITCH AND COMMON SENSE
Ecocoffee was recently featured at the UK’s biggest green lifestyle event LONDON AWARE 08 at the Barbican in London on weekend 10th/11th May 2008. Our Triple Certified Honduras coffee was served in the Room For Change, designed by Neo Creative.
Neo, a Brighton-based communications agency, has created a novel way to inspire greener lifestyles. The Room For Change is a virtual living room decorated with eco-friendly products and installations, designed to give consumers everyday ideas for greener living. The creative team at Neo say that they have created a unique combination of comedy, cross-stitch and common sense. Installations include a goat made from hubcaps (to encourage people to consider buying ethical or recycled products) and a toilet full of mobile phones to communicate how recycling your mobile can fund capital projects in the third world (as well as highlighting the dangers of texting on the toilet).
Neo was formed in 2002 to work with organizations that bring about positive change. Clients include Greenpeace, Arts Council England and Homeless Link.

Rising Prices Good News for Coffee Farmers
Source: Dow Jones Newswires & ICO
May 2008
Coffee prices have risen by 30-40% over the last year and are projected to be on an uptrend over the next three years. The International Coffee Organisation reports (May 2008) that price levels are firm and price volatility has become less intense. Average prices in the first four months of 2008 are higher than those recorded during previous months. However, the US dollar continues to weaken against other major currencies while prices of oil products are still rising, thus further increasing costs in the coffee supply chain of important items such as transportation and fertilizers. Some exporting countries have announced support measures for coffee producers to help them cope with constantly growing fertilizer costs and unfavourable exchange rate movements.
Demand for Arabica beans is expected to grow at a faster pace than for Robusta, according to a recent Morgan Stanley report. The move by companies such as McDonald's, Maxwell House and Dunkin Doughnuts to use only Arabica beans for their coffee is indicative of a reversal in the trend towards cheaper robusta coffee from traditional Arabica varieties, which started in the 1990s, said the report.
Arabica coffee on the Intercontinental Exchange is projected to average $1.25 per pound in the current market year ending September, and rise to $1.31/lb the following year, reaching $1.50/lb in 2011.
