Location: Commercial Drive SkyTrain Station
t seems like the far-reaching Green Train has finally passed through the Commercial Drive SkyTrain Station. Ethical Bean, the guilt-free fair trade coffee supply company, opened up a quaint and convenient Ethical Bean Express in the station on April 22nd. The fact that the opening date just happened to coincide with Earth Day was no accident. Co-founder Lloyd Berhardt wants to raise the environmental awareness of transit riders countrywide and has already committed to opening a second Ethical Bean Xpress on the Granville platform this summer. Since the java hut purchases every carbon credit they expend in bean travel and operations the chain’s footprint stays neutralized. The whole operation boasts 100% fair trade and organic everything on top of their neutralized footprint. All this green stuff has become such a marketing trend that I’m afraid it might soon become passé. For now though, the Green Train is thriving and showing no signs of slowing down. Enjoy your guilt-free coffee on your environmentally friendly commute to work. –J.T.
