      Unfortunately almost everything we all do causes climate change. Every time we use energy or take a material or plant from the earth we impact the environment.

      For coffee we use fertilisers in the farms, energy in the factories, materials to make packaging and fuel to transport it. Of course we try to minimise this because energy and materials cost money!
