Alta Organic Coffee donated small gift bags of Rail Trail Blend to the Westside Ground Breaking Party held at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery on January 25, 2020, where we were recognized as a local business supporter for the new 1.3 mile segment of the Coastal Rail Trail.
Some 50% of greenhouse gas emissions are generated from transportation within Santa Cruz County. Gas powered cars and trucks have a negative impact on the environment in terms of air & water quality, use of natural resources and noise pollution. Without a doubt, for the majority of us, the number one way we can reduce our carbon footprint and help contribute to a healthier environment is to drive less.
The Rail Trail would allow residents and visitors to travel car-free and pollution-free for a variety of short trips and will provide continuous access for bicyclists and pedestrians along the Santa Cruz County Coast.
Next time you stop into Alta Organic, ask about the Rail Trail Blend. A percentage of the proceeds from this blend supports the building of the new rail trail.
