Canadian researchers analyzed coffee's "contribution to climate change" in a piece published in early January and suggested people moderate their consumption of the popular drink as a part of the solution.
Researchers Luciano Rodrigues Viana, Charles Marty, Jean-François Boucher and Pierre-Luc Dessureault wrote in an analysis published in The Conversation that pollution from preparing coffee was "just the tip of the iceberg."
"Limiting your contribution to climate change requires an adapted diet, and coffee is no exception. Choosing a mode of coffee preparation that emits less GHGs (greenhouse gases) and moderating your consumption are part of the solution," the researchers at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi wrote.
The study also found that using coffee pods to brew coffee contributed less to the carbon footprint than brewing coffee with a traditional filter.

So say the tea drinkers.
And pissing eventually pollutes our worldwide water supply.
Starbucks patrons affected the most.
Ze meal worms washed down with tea? Fegedaboudit.
There really need to be Nuremburg-style trials over this.
Is hanging the eco-friendly form of execution?
Pinochet-style chopper rides over the ocean. Feed the sharks, fish and crabs.
Wait 'til July when I crank the a/c up to "Frostbite."
Now wait a second. I make coffee every morning with a filter I then put in my composter with the grounds. Great for our garden. Now after years of hearing single use plastic is evil, they want me to switch to single use plastic pods that only give one cup of coffee? We can’t afford 4 or 5 pods a day, each. 🔩🏀
I agree, it’s ridiculous. Never fooled with those pods.
They’re not even recycling plastic much anymore. Is it even possible to pay people enough to sort through seven plastic recycling codes at the recycling facility?
Not to mention the breakdown product, micro plastics that are carried through the air and inhaled by every living thing on the planet.
No, most of the recycling is for show. It’s just being thrown in the landfill.
I think this no more coffee is just another WEF “you vill eat ze bugs” thing.
