Coffee and the Environment

So, I am writing my research paper for my Freshman seminar on Coffee and the environment. 

As I've made it very clear in a pervious post, I love clothing. And along with clothing, there is another thing that I love unconditionally, coffee. 

I don't want to give away to much about my paper to anyone from my class that may eventually read this, but I am setting out to prove that Sun grown coffee is detrimental to the environment, as opposed to the traditional, shade grown coffee. 

My advise. Check out the lables on your packaged coffee, or ask your barista. Is your coffee fair trade AND shade grown? 

If it's not, your a communist and you hate America! 

Just kidding.... but really, don't drink Sun grown coffee. 

Clothing

If you have ever met me, then you know that I LOVE CLOTHING. 

I love looking at clothes, talking about clothes, and of course, I have TONS of clothing. 

While having a mountain of jeans and shirts might not be the most "green thing" to do, I at least try and be green with my clothes once I'm done with them. 

Whenever I decide it's time for my gently used jackets, shoes and shorts to go their own ways, I pack them up and ship them off to different charity organizations.

Most of my clothes in the past several years have found their way to the "Boys and Girls House," and organization which rehabilitates children from broken homes. 

So, my materialism isn't just for me... it helps others as well :D
