Coffee, Jane Goodall, and my hagiology

Earlier this week Maine NPR re-broadcast a Chataqua lecture from this summer by Jane Goodall, and I hung on every word. What an extraordinary, loving human being she is! I think we all create our own calendar of saints, and she is certainly on mine. I went to check on the title of her autobiography, Reason for Hope, today -- I read it several years ago but had forgotten much of it until this lecture -- and discovered:

COFFEE!

Yes we can drink coffee to benefit Jane Goodall's chimpanzees at Gombe -- to keep their habitat safe, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is collaborating with the local coffee growers. Yes it's expensive, but what are the Chimps worth?
