Send us a text How can we use our beautiful power collectively to stop deforestation, heal the planet, and support farmers, with every cup of coffee... Make the world better with every sip! If you’re interested in making more ecological coffee choices, listen to my guest this week Etelle Higonnet, attorney, environmental activist, and knighted as a Chevalier de l"ordre national du Mérite for her pioneering efforts to curb deforestation in high-risk commodities such as cocoa, rubber, palm oil, cattle, and soy industries.  She is the founder of Coffee Watch, a nonprofit watchdog organization fighting to reform the global coffee industry and its dark secret of slavery, child labor, deforestation, and pesticide-soaked monoculture. Their unyielding resolve is to make the world a better place with each cup of coffee. Etelle"s powerful work is bringing change to the destructive impact of the coffee industry on the planet and to people’s lives. She shows that every one of us can vote with each cup of coffee that we choose to drink. Together we can bring the end to slavery, deforestation, child-labor and pesticide-soaked monoculture.  She shares how we can all be guardians of our world and that by making good choices, we can have a huge positive impact for people and the planet.  You can find out more about Etelle’s work on https://coffeewatch.org/  And follow her on Linkedin @EtelleHigonnet You can follow Host Lou Hamilton on Instagram @brave_newgirl and on Linkedin @LouHamiltoncreatelab PS.
