Sustainable Drinking
Next time you pick up a glass of your favorite drink; be it coffee, wine or a glass of milk; it's easy to make a sustainable choice
Fact:
Sustainable wineries employ techniques that minimize waste and environmental damage such as water conservation and waste composting. Sustainable vineyards may use birds of prey to eat troublesome insects or create insectaries (areas of plants that attract bugs) instead of using harmful pesticides.
Action:
Next time you buy a bottle of wine, look for an official sustainable certification on the label of the wine.
Fact:
The coffee we enjoy depends on 25 million coffee producers, 10 million hectares of coffee farms, and the continued ability to sustain these people and resources.
Action:
Purchase coffee that has one of the following labels to promote fair wage and minimizing environmental effects, Fair-Trade, Rainforest Alliance Certified or Organic.
Fact:
Producing one glass of milk generates about double the emissions created by the production of plant-based alternative milks and uses two to three times the amount of water.
Action:
Use a plant-based milk where possible. For example, in your coffee and in foods like smoothies.
