Climate & Community 3/6/25: Climate and Coffee – How Local Businesses Can Lead on Climate (Part 2)

Host: Wilson Haims Description: Climate and Community speaks with Maggie Iannuzzi, owner of Precipice Coffee in Ellsworth, Maine. In the second half of our conversation, Maggie shares the significance of the name “Precipice,” and breaks down just how much carbon dioxide they are reducing by using solar-powered roasting technology. Maggie also describes the health-related concerns associated with traditional gas-powered roasting that contributed to their decision to use electric roasting technology.
