Coffee Watch 301d ago

While everyone starts their morning a little differently, one thing many people have in common is pouring a cup of coffee. But what if we told you that your daily ritual of coffee is more than likely funding mass deforestation, biodiversity loss, and slavery? On the Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, the conversation is about how we vote with our dollar—what we buy every single day, where we buy it, and who we buy it from all make a difference for the environment and for workers across the globe. That is why in Episode 194, our Founder & Director, Etelle Higonnet, joined to share her insights. A graduate of Yale Law School, Etelle is an attorney and environmental and human rights activist. She previously worked with Mighty Earth, National Wildlife, Greenpeace, Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, as well as two war crimes courts. She was knighted in her home country of France for her pioneering efforts to curb deforestation in high-risk commodities such as cocoa, rubber, palm oil, cattle, and soy. Having worked in over 30 countries, published widely, and speaking 9 languages, Etelle is now dedicated to ending deforestation and slavery in the global coffee industry. 🎙️ Listen to the full podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/194-is-your-morning-coffee-funding-deforestation-with/id1586174667?i=1000723390625
