Every day is an opportunity to preserve bird habitat, whether you are out on the trail or standing in your kitchen sipping a newly brewed cup of coffee. Birds and Beans links conservation and coffee together by providing Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society an annual rebate of 5% annual sales volume to put towards Ohio’s conservation projects.

​Coffee drinking is the thing for many people. Why not help Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society in a bird friendly way by purchasing coffee grown with the birds in mind?

Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018 was National Coffee Day, one of the most popular days for free coffee and deals on coffee from popular spots, including Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts. On that day, there were plenty of popular cafes offering free cups of joe, as well as discounts on coffee beans and donations to coffee farmers in need.

According to, "Today Is National Coffee Day 2018. Here Are the Best Deals" at Fortune.com, National Coffee Day 2018 exists for good reason. More Americans are drinking a daily cup of coffee than they have since 2012, with 64% of adults over 18 having at least one cup of coffee a day. Up to 79% of coffee drinkers enjoyed a cup at home, with only 9% using smartphone apps to order their drinks, according to Reuters.
