ATLANTA, GA, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) While the convenience of the K-Cup is attractive, the cost and impact on the environment is truly prohibitive. When applying basic mathematics, one will discover that Folgers coffee purchased in K-Cups costs the consumer more than $50 per pound. Yes, that is more than some of the premium gourmet coffee in the world, including Jamaica Blue Mountain and 100% Hawaiian Kona Coffee.
With most premium specialty coffee topping out at $20 per pound, it is a wonder why anyone would pay more than twice as much for inferior coffee. The fact is that convenience often carries a high price. The Keurig machine's ease of use and the ability to brew just one cup of coffee at a time is certainly enticing.
The good news is that Keurig and other manufacturers do offer a single serve reusable K-cup. This allows the gourmet coffee aficionado to enjoy fine coffee in single serve portions and the average coffee drinker to save a great deal of money over the regular K-cups. The reusable K-cup works with any coffee and is just as convenient for single serve coffee.
John Martinez, owner of J. Martinez & Co., remarks, "The appeal of the K-cup is understandable, given its convenience, but overpaying for inferior coffee simply does not make sense. The reusable K-cup is the perfect mix of convenience and economy. This way, people can drink the coffee they want rather than just what is offered."
The cost savings alone should prompt many K-cup lovers to make the switch to the reusable K-cup, and lessening the environmental impact of the wasteful one time use K-cups is great for everyone.

USGS details effects of climate change on water availability in 14 local basins nationwide
2012-05-17
Climate change projections indicate a steady increase in temperature progressing through the 21st century, generally resulting in snowpack reductions, changes to the timing of snowmelt, altered streamflows, and reductions in soil moisture, all of which could affect water management, agriculture, recreation, hazard mitigation, and ecosystems across the nation. Despite some widespread similarities in climate change trends, climate change will affect specific water basins in the U.S. differently, based on the particular hydrologic and geologic conditions in that area.

MADISON – University of Wisconsin-Madison plant breeders have developed a new oat variety that's significantly higher in the compound that makes this grain so cardio-friendly.
