Can coffee be eco friendly?
Initially you would have thought that the basic cup of coffee would not be very eco friendly, but it really depends on your point of view. With over fifty per cent of Americans enjoying a daily cup of coffee that works out at a lot of coffee, power and water, but with no viable alternative things could be much worse.
However normal instant coffee would have been grown in factory style farming by huge companies this may not be too eco friendly, but there are certain labels to look out for which will show you that the product is in fact more eco friendly than the regular brands.

Shade Grown: This indicates that the coffee was grown under the rainforest canopy
Rainforest Alliance Certified: Grown using low or no pesticides and workers treated fairly
