>20 coffees to save the Amazon
Which 20 coffees? 20 Starbucks coffees? 20 no-name donut shop coffees? 20 instant-scoop grocery store coffees? If coffees are to become a bona fide currency, we're going to need more precise denominations here.
Or hopefully we can just stop with the coffee-pricing analogies because it's getting ridiculous and your would-be customers think you sound ridiculous. It's outdated sales-talk.
- Magi604 4y agoTowards the bottom they say $100 = 20 coffees, so they're are pricing a coffee as $5 per cup. The first Google hit for "Junglekeepers Charity Rating" brings up this link claiming they are a scam: https://www.complaintsboard.com/junglekeepers-scam-charity-c821666 https://www.complaintsboard.com/junglekeepers-scam-charity-c...

- mannycalavera42 4y agoand in the same page there is user comment that says: This non-profit is not a scam. They have done some well documented work to protect the Las Piedras Region, they are running a ranger program covering 55,000+ acres of rainforest working with the local communities and have partner with established philanthropies. See for instance the involvement of Age Of Union: https://www.ageofunion.com/feature/film-the-heart-of-a-mission https://www.ageofunion.com/feature/film-the-heart-of-a-missi... or some of the features about the work on ABC: https://youtu.be/8FAbqkaI9HY https://youtu.be/8FAbqkaI9HY Criticism is useful, but perhaps researching thoroughly before make wild claims like these can help. I invite people to do their own research. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ your move
- tdeck 4y agoThat link 404s. Also, it's pretty suspicious that the website has no information about the nonprofit entity or its officers. Is it a 501(c)3? I can't tell. So I can't look it up on Charity Navigator or anything. It's very sketchy.
- gs17 4y agoCame up on Charity Navigator for me, searching by name. No rating, but it says they are a 501(c)(3). https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/881863507 https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/881863507
- Magi604 4y agoI didn't say I agreed with what was in the link. Your move?
- jandrese 4y agoThat review reads like it was written by someone with a major axe to grind. I don't know if these guys are legit, but I'm not going to trust only this one haters opinion on it.
- aramachandran7 4y agoI disagree. You’re getting caught in the semantics; the notion of 20 $5 coffees makes sense and is an easy and relatable way to reframe $100.
- pathsjs 4y agoI don't know, coffee here costs 1€ everywhere
- dylan604 4y ago$100 is pretty relatable as well though
- throw_pm23 4y agoI make coffee at home, from freshly roasted, freshly ground, high quality stuff. It comes out to around 5-10 cents a cup.

- yamtaddle 4y ago$100, so, $5/coffee. That'd be extremely expensive for a normal coffee, even at 2023 prices and assuming some rip-off place like Starbucks or quite-fancy cafes that actually put some of the high price into getting excellent beans. It's unthinkably high for home-made coffee. You can get extremely nice beans and not hit $2/coffee. $5 is close to the cost of a hot caffeinated milkshake, though.
- blackoil 4y agoStarbucks sell 4 Billion of them, so they aren't impractical to set the benchmark price.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI assume a lot of those 4B are sugary dessert drinks containing coffee, not what is colloquially referred to as a “coffee”. At least I hope.
