Celcius Coffee Roastery

On Tuesday the 5th of July a group of 10 students from the envirogroup went to visit the Celcius Coffee Roastery. The Roastery has won the Green-Gold award for sustainability. We learnt about some things like: 
# Fair-trade Coffee means that the farmers that the coffee beans come from get a fair amount of money for the beans that celcius only buy fair trade.
# All the coffee beans that the roastery buy are grown organically.
# The roastery have designed and made there own compostable packaging.
# One of the only things celcius can not enviromentally control is the transport from were they buy the coffee beans (places like Colombia) to the roastery- a ship burns a lot of oil or fuel.
# The leftover coffee grounds that the roastery have are made into "sweetground" soil conditioner which they then sell to the Upper Hutt City Council.

The 10 students that went were Finn Nicky Lilly Carlie-Ann Garath Cayliegh Riely Ellen Abi and Piper and we all had a great day!
