We thought we should fill you in one what exactly Shemspeed is up to for Earth Day 2010! Shemspeed & DeScribe are teaming up with Marley Coffee and its mission for furthering ital organic foods. Today Shemspeed will be sitting down with elected officials of Brooklyn Crown Hieghts community & Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz about the Harmony Music video press release promoting racial Harmony and respect for mother earth and G-d’s children. The world needs healing and today is a day to reflect on that. Now for some info on Marly Coffee, one of our environmental sponsors for the movement.
* Beyond organic, Marley Coffee is ITAL, shade-grown on bio-diverse land with no pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or other additives. All of the coffee that we roast is grown under a canopy of rainforest-preserving shade trees at an elevation of over 3000 feet. Shade grown and organic farming methods make for healthier soil, prevent water contamination and provide habitat for dozens of species of migratory birds. They are also a critical component of Marley Coffee’s exceptional flavor. more info at marleycoffee.com
