Jim's Organic Coffee Relies on Renewable Energy

"Jim’s Organic Coffee is proud to join hands with Sterling Planet and the Environmental Protection Agency to become the East Coast’s first coffee roaster that is 100% powered by renewable energy. The company has offset 100% of their electric and gas use to renewable energy sources. The purchase is enough to compensate for all gas and electricity in the roasting facility, for transportation of green coffee to the plant and for the company automobiles. This renewable energy is equivalent to 171,216 pounds of CO2, 17 passenger cars NOT driven for a year, 26 tons of waste recycled or 65 acres of pine/fir forests storing carbon for a year. According to Jim, “Being a 100% organic company, energy sustainability has always been a primary focus for us. By making these new strides, we maintain our leadership position as a coffee roaster dedicated to quality in the cup, while preserving our shared ecosystems."
