I’d bet if there were a worldwide poll taken on what Portland is all about, the top 2 things we’d be associated with (among those who had even heard of us) are 1: Coffee, and 2: Environmentalism. I’m as sick as the next person of the increasing micromanagement of the green movement, which every day seems to reveal at least one new thing that’s ruining the planet. I’m tired of problems, I want to hear some solutions, and not ones that involve me starting an organic garden in my nonexistent backyard with my nonexistent free time out of which I will make my own hemp clothing using my nonexistent sewing expertise, and so on and so forth. Portland Roasting, then, is about to offer one such small, simple solution: the “ecotainer” coffee cup made from renewable materials and a corn-based liner, 100% biodegradable. Justin Sanders can finally chill out. Look for them at locations around town as of this month.
