Putting People First with First Colony Coffee & Tea in Food & Drink Digital

Everything tastes better when there are good practices standing behind it.

2011-07-01

SAN DIEGO, CA, July 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) Everything tastes better when there are good practices standing behind it. First Colony Coffee & Tea produces coffee and tea that is not only delicious, but sustainably produced in a socially responsible partnership with the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation - and Food & Drink Digital has the inside scoop.

"When you're speaking about the coffee growers in Colombia," says First Colony President Nicolas Giraldo, "it's very important to take into consideration that you're not speaking about huge companies that run thousand-acre farms. In Colombia, what you have is an industry that's built from 500,000 families, who own farms that are smaller than 1.6 acres on average." First Colony works with these growers to build a more sustainable economic infrastructure, while also working to cultivate a more sustainably grown brand of coffee beans.

Why a Salt Water Pool is Better Than a Chlorine Pool

2011-07-01

In the traditional pool system, chlorine must be periodically added to the water in tablet form in order for the water to remain healthy and safe to swim in. The chemical chlorine helps to prevent harmful bacteria and algae from congregating in the pool. In a salt water pool system, a chlorine generator is used to transform sodium chloride ("salt") into chlorine. In this method, there is constant stream of chlorine in the pool for sanitation, and the pool owner does not have to repeatedly place chlorine tablets inside the pool. So, a salt water pool system is ...

This study, by researchers from the Netherlands and Spain, will be published on June 30th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. Models of virus infection often fail to predict how many animals will become infected and which virus variants will be present in the ...
