Coffee fans out there, it's that time of the year!  Starting November 3, 2011, the race is on for redeeming the Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee 2012 Planners!  

Now on it's 9th year, Starbucks continues it's tradition by offering quality made planners that not only helps their customers, but more importantly, the environment. Starbucks has always been doing it's part by doing business in ways that give back to the community and the environment.  This is very evident in this year's Starbucks Shared Planet theme.  

To show their commitment, Starbucks offers the Limited Edition 2012 planner in five unique covers (Poplar, Bamboo, Cherry, Spruce and Oak) - a first in 9 years!  They made sure that the planners coincide with the Starbucks Shared Planet theme's 3 pillars:

1. Ethical Sourcing - The planners were produced in an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified facility.  FSC is an independent, non-governmental and no-profit organization established to promote responsibly managed forests.
2. Environmental Stewardship - The pages of the Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee 2012 planners are made from 70% recycled paper. 
3. Community Involvement - a donation is made to Spark Hope for every planner redeemed.
