The Ingredients to Change the World...Start with a cup of coffee

We are starting with a cup of coffee.  Caffeine is a must.  We are joined by 100 million other people in the U.S. over the age of 18 who drink coffee each day.  That is a lot of coffee.  That is also a lot of coffee grounds and a lot of chaff that comes from roasting that much coffee.  These are the ingredients for change though.

Thanks to Leopard Forest Coffee, Charleston Coffee Roasters and a few more, we are going to be taking all of that spent coffee and and the chaff that comes from the roasting process and using it (after partaking of a few cups of coffee ourselves, of course.)

Coffee grounds and chaff is the perfect substrate (growing material) for growing mushrooms and we are going to grow A LOT of mushrooms.  We wanted to do something different.  So, we are also going to be selling mushroom kits so that people can grow their own at home.  Half the proceeds from the sales of these kits is going to go to local schools.  We are also going to donate the kits themselves so that kids can learn in classrooms how these mushrooms grow.  

The rest of the spent grounds and chaff is going to go to Compost SC.  It will be added to worm beds to make compost and fertilizer.

These are the ingredients to change the world.  It all starts with a little coffee.
