Offset your carbon footprint with me on Wren! We'll plant 10 extra trees for the first 100 people who sign up! wren.co/start/upisnotjump
Coffee is my favorite drink. I recently began being able to drink more than one cup of coffee a day without the world starting to spin, but it’s a risky process.
Either way, join me in discovering why coffee is an absolute nightmare. This video discusses the history and geography of coffee, then the growing and processing, then its effect on the body, and finally stuff you can do to make your coffee drinking more ethical.
I am bad at writing sentences, maybe I need to drink more coffee.. Or less.
