In June 2009, Brad Butler traveled with his 3 cousins through the jungles of Panama with the goal of building that sustainable living community in the form of an Eco-Village. Through his journey, Brad discovered cooperative coffee farming and focused on bringing those practices back to the United States. Once there, he and his family began roasting cooperatively grown coffee on stove-top popcorn poppers. Today, Bicycle Coffee delivers their fresh roasted beans to more than 250 businesses in the Bay Area. http://www.bicyclecoffeeco.com/ In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) This talk was shot shot and edited in stereoscopic 3D by Golden Gate 3D and Area 5. http://gg3d.com http://area5.tv To view in 3D, click here: http://youtu.be/4WjGi-zLqug
