But for comparison of workers/environment it’s not accurate to simply consider the effects of coffee, we need to consider the effects of the alternate to coffee. For the case of drinking coffee it’s easier but still a bit tricky. For workers and the environment I think that gets very hard but we should be trying to quantify it anyway. In the absence of coffee, How are they earning a living? Admittedly coffee provides a meager living for the people doing the growing, but what replaces it and are they worse or better off. I honestly don’t have a good idea.
