Dolly Parton’s ‘Cup of Ambition’ coffee will go towards providing free books for children

In July, a month before she passed at age 80, country music legend Dolly Parton filmed three commercial spots for her new coffee line, Cup of Ambition.

The brand, which Parton said was “40 years in the making,” was made in partnership with Community Coffee, one of the largest family-owned coffee brands in the United States.

A percentage of proceeds from Cup of Ambition coffee sales will go towards supporting Parton’s Imagination Library, which provides free books to children every month, from birth to 5 years old.

Even better: In addition to its central mission, Parton’s Imagination Library, Community Coffee donates thousands of dollars every year to Louisiana public schools through Community Cash For Schools, with funds going towards new textbooks, computers, and playground equipment.

A new analysis found that global carbon emissions are set to fall in 2026

Fossil fuel emissions are on track to fall by around 0.5% in 2026 globally as a result of the Hormuz crisis, where the U.S.-Iran war has disrupted trade and caused spikes in oil and gas prices.

Additionally, for every new month the disruption continues, countries are growing more incentivized to switch to alternatives. While forecasts also point to a 1.2% rise in coal demand in 2026 — that rise will still be more than offset by oil and gas declines.

While the IEA forecast a rise in demand of 930,000 barrels of oil per day in January of this year, by September, that had fallen to a 2.5 million barrels per day drop in demand — a 2.4% reduction from 2025.
