Great one!

Chances are that your cup of coffee came from somewhere halfway across the globe. Decaf beans get processed with chemicals to strip away caffeine.

The challenge is to cut back your coffee consumption to less two(or whatever number is good) cups per week.

It reduces the environmental impacts such as:
- transportation/logistics (fossil fuel, packaging)
- deforestation
- water pollution
- soil quality
