Where do the people who are changing the world for the better go for coffee?
Today many people just go to their local big chain coffee shop to try sit down and work on projects and meetings with small tables and chairs to work at and instagramers distracting them by trying to get that perfect picture of their caramel macchioato.
As they work they drink gallons of coffee from far off lands that were grown on land that use to be a rain forest with a lush ecosystem but is now endless fields of coffee beans. All while the people that pick that coffee are living on barely any money as big companies take advantage of the lower labor costs just so that the average cup of coffee is.
Many people drink this coffee that has traveled thousands of miles, burning fossil fuels and tons of energy along the way. It’s put into cups and mugs made of plastic, the very thing that pollutes our planet and destroys our ecosystem.
How can anyone change the world for the better when the simple act of waking up in the morning with a cup of coffee could be destroying the world along the way?
