• Send an email out to all of your friends, family and email listservs you are on, asking them to patronize more socially and environmentally responsible coffee shops. Give them the link to our webpage where they can send an instant, message to Starbucks CEO. http://www.purefood.org/starbucks/sampleletter.htm
• Go door to door with leaflets and a petition.
• Be creative! There are a million ways to spread the word- just do what you do best.
• Let your local Starbucks know how you feel...

Let Starbucks know how you feel:

1. Go into a Starbucks coffee shop and talk to the manager or the person in charge.
   
   

2. Ask them for a verbal and written assurance that they will change their policies (i.e. that they will remove rBGH and other genetically engineered (GE) ingredients from their coffee beverages and their foods; that they will start brewing and seriously promoting Fair Trade coffee; that they will fulfill their pledge to improve the wages and working conditions of coffee plantation workers; that they will pledge never to use GE decaffeinated coffee beans).
   
   
3. Ask Starbucks to show you what brand of milk they are using in your coffee and take note of whether or not it is labeled as rBGH-free (sometimes called rBST. If you're ordering soy milk with your coffee, make sure it's labeled organic or free of GE soy and soy derivatives.
   
   
4. Ask if their baked goods are free from GE soy, soy derivatives, corn sweeteners, and cooking oils. If you order a coffee from Starbucks, ask them to brew your coffee with Fair Trade coffee beans. If they won't, take your business elsewhere.
   
   
5. Ask Starbucks for a written assurance that they will cooperate with international human rights monitors to guarantee their pledge to raise the wages and working conditions of the coffee plantation workers of their suppliers.
   
   
6. Patronize socially responsible businesses and products. If one of Starbucks' competitors is brewing Fair Trade coffee or avoiding GE ingredients, give your business to them instead of Starbucks. To find out who is selling Fair Trade coffee, check out our list of links.
   
   
7. Email the Organic Consumers Association StarBucks Campaign to find out how you can get more involved!
   Protests with leafleting and media events are taking place weekly in front of Starbucks in 100 cities in the US and Canada. Contact us to find out how you can help at a demonstration near you!
   
   
8. Join the Organic Consumers Association and the growing Fair Trade Movement across the USA.
   
   
9. Call, write, fax or email Starbucks. Tell them to send you a written guarantee that they will change their policies on GE foods, Fair Trade coffee, and wages and working conditions of coffee plantation workers, or else you will no longer buy their products.
