The guilt of buying non-fair trade coffee is eating me alive.
I know better, but the price tag always changes my mind!

Ugh, I feel this SO hard. But what if our guilt is exactly what big brands WANT? They make us fuss over coffee so we don't ask why they pay poverty wages everywhere else. Like, that cheap t-shirt or phone battery probably has a worse human cost. Focusing on just one item lets them off the hook for the whole messed-up system. It's like we're blaming ourselves for their choices.

Right on point! I always get stuck feeling bad about my plastic use, but then remember how much waste comes from packaging alone. Isn't it crazy how they make us sweat the small stuff?

Yeah that's a scary thought lol. So you think the whole "eco-friendly" push is just a distraction from bigger problems?
