For the most sustainable cup of coffee in the morning, try to make these steps part of your morning routine. Choose a reusable metal mesh coffee filter, which can be rinsed and used over and over again. Brew exactly the right amount of coffee to minimize waste; if you have leftover coffee, let it cool down and feed it to plants instead of pouring it down the drain. And go with the most sustainable beans you can find by searching for fair trade, organic and shade-grown brands through the Rainforest Alliance website.
