Rainforest Alliance (RA) is not an entirely reliable certification and Nespresso apparently just cooperates with them but does not carry their seal on the products, which means their criteria are probably even weaker than those of RA. If they were serious about it, they wouldn't create a AAA- whatever stamp on their own, they would ask for organic certification to a proper organic certifier and fair trade certification from a propoer FT certifier. This is a small step in a good direction, but we all know that Nestlé is a major polluter and resources destroyer and anything they play out showing how green they are is porbably to throw sand in our eyes. Also, their whole basic attitude of selling machines which only work with their fancy capsules, which are an incredible waste of package, just shows their mentality. They started collecting and recycling the capsules due to public opinion pressure, but once again they know that the number of people who goes to the trouble of returning the capsules is very low and they don't offer incentive to people, so once again, is just to greenwash our minds. Hey, but I'm drinking a Nespresso tight now. My mom insisted on having a machine, despite all my warnings that it wasn't ecological. And for her, I do anything :) And I had to try these famous coffees to see what's the fuss about it. It's just plain old coffee... Served in a very fancy way so your mind thinks it tastes better than others! I think they aren’t serious about it.
