@goodgut.goodmind Ahhh, coffee. Sweet, delicious, yummy coffee. ☕ A warm (or iced) cup of coffee to start the day is such a wonderful privilege. To have the water to start it, the coffee maker to make it, and the coffee grounds to brew it. 💧🌱 I often think about where my food started, and coffee is something I think about a lot. Coffee is a crop that often negatively affects the communities it comes from. The farmers aren't always paid liveable wages, despite the massive profits that are made. This isn't the only crop that this problem occurs with, by the way. 🤷🏼‍♀️ When buying coffee, consider looking for Certified Fair Trade. Fair Trade means that the farmers have the power to make decisions that better their lives, get paid a liveable wage, increase their workplace safety, and protect the environment. It's an all around win 🌎💕🌍 It isn't the more expensive option and it tastes better knowing the people who grew it are able to live a life they want, without exploitation! Plus, the more you buy Certified Fair Trade, the more companies will move toward increasing the number of Fair Trade Certified options they carry; that's called voting with your dollar! 💰 Oh, and here's a picture of my favorite coffee outside of a local coffee shop...target has loads of delicious options!
