Is it wrong?
I’m researching Amazon birds while drinking coffee — coffee being one of many crops destroying these gorgeous creatures’ habitat.
But I am at Cold Smoke Coffeehouse drinking Papua New Guinea, grown nowhere near the Amazon rainforest, though I’m sure there’s destruction going on there as well. But anyway, some of the proceeds from the coffee sold at Cold Smoke goes to supporting El Porvenir, a small nonprofit providing clean water and sanitation to Nicaraguans. I always thought Cold Smoke’s slogan was simply a punny comment about what happens when one drinks too much coffee: “Drink Coffee. Give Water.”
So is that supposed to make me feel less guilty? It doesn’t.
Guilty as charged, your honor!
But I’m supposed to be avoiding caffeine as it may exacerbate hot flashes, according to renowned women’s health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup.
So what’s a guilty, aging, coffee-loving girl to do?

Tough isn’t it? The problem being that we get into these things innocently enough…and THEN find out how destructive and greedy the companies are. But then we are already hooked!

Hi Ed! Actually, I’m not really hooked. I just LIKE coffee. And these days I drink almost as much tea as coffee — almost. By the way, I hope your eyes are doing better. I assume since you are on the computer that they are!

Can’t give up the coffee. If I give up the coffee, I’ll also have to give up the words, and the thinking, and the forming of the words into sentences! LOL

I hear you, sister. But the caffeine: not so good to me these days. To me, coffee is a much-needed ritual and I like the taste. Wakes me up even without the stimulant. Keep on writing. We all have stories to tell.
