Like other foods, choosing organically grown coffee beans is a healthier choice for the environment.

And it's not as hard to find places that offer Fair Trade coffee as you might think... coffee giants Starbucks offer a fair trade blend in most of their thousands of stores across the world. So even if you like your coffee black, use these tips to make it a little greener.
