~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ December 6, 2010 Birds & Beans Talk The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission is hosting award-winning author Scott Weidensaul at the Meadowlands Environment Center at 7:30 pm on Monday, Dec. 6. In 2008, Scott Weidensaul and I launched Birds & Beans® coffee to make it easy for coffee drinkers in America to buy Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center 'Bird Friendly®' coffee. Every bean sold by Birds & Beans is certified by independent inspectors to meet the rigorous Smithsonian standards. Bird Friendly® coffee means that migratory songbirds we know and love have a better chance to survive while on their wintering grounds in the tropics. Weidensaul's talk, part of The Birds & Beans Talks series first launched in October 2008 in Boston, is co-sponsored by the Bergen County Audubon Society, is free and open to the public. His subject is perfect for a place located in the middle of the Middle Atlantic Flyway: "Against All Odds - Miracles of Bird Migration." The talk next month will explore the wonder and mechanics of migration, and the simple ways that humans can help at a time when the populations of many migratory birds are in drastic decline. According to Weidensaul, those simple ways include landscaping with native plants, going organic in your gardening and your purchasing, keeping pet cats indoors, and using recycled paper. "Of course, we should recycle everything we can, but I'll explain why paper recycling is especially important for migratory birds," Weidensaul says. He will also explain why he thinks that the most effective method of helping neotropical Migrants is buying shade grown Bird Friendly® coffee certified by the Smithsonian Center for Migratory Birds. Tropical habitat destruction is today's biggest threat to neo-tropical migrants. The massive shift to farm coffee on industrialized sun filled fields requiring heavy chemicals means that most of the coffee we drink in the US is literally killing songbirds. Today, almost all coffee on the shelves in the US does not meet 'Bird Friendly®' standards. Just drinking Birds & Beans coffee gives wonderful birds - Baltimore Oriole, Wood Thrush, Scarlet Tanager, Chestnut-sided Warbler and dozens of other species - a chance to return to us each year and fill our world with their beauty. I hope that you, your friends and Birds & Beans customers can join us at the Meadowlands Environment Center on December 6th.
