New Initiatives for 2009

April 26, 2009

On Wednesday of last week, BG hit the road on his new tricked out Giant “Transport” bicycle, with the help of Mike Boone,  owner of  Magic Cycles.

Every year at the BGB, we take time to reflect to see how we are doing when it comes to being an “eco-friendly” and “socially responsible” business.

So, what does that look like for 2009?  Well, without spilling all the beans (get it?), by riding a bike to town for coffee deliveries, we can reduce our carbon footprint as well as raise money for coffee farmers in Rwanda.

A friend stopped me at Magic Cycles and asked how it all is going to work.  My response:  “It starts with a fat bald guy and 20 pounds of coffee on a cargo bike peddling over to Bare Essentials to make a delivery…it ain’t much, but it is a start!”

Stay tuned, more to come!
