Coffee is my favorite drink. I recently began being able to drink more than one cup of coffee a day without the world starting to spin, but it’s a risky process.
Either way, join me in discovering why coffee is an absolute nightmare. This video discusses the history and geography of coffee, then the growing and processing, then its effect on the body, and finally stuff you can do to make your coffee drinking more ethical.
I am bad at writing sentences, maybe I need to drink more coffee.. Or less.

Love your content, but it is very important that we acknowledge that the term "carbon footprint" was popularized by a large advertising campaign by the fossil fuel company BP in order to make climate change seem like a personal failing on the part of consumers rather than something that requires wide legislative action. Climate Town on UA-cam has a good summary of this issue.
THANK YOU! Came looking only for this comment if this has been posted yet.
Was hoping someone would clarify this in comments. Kudos 🤙🏽
This is a very good point. Whilst it's still important for the average person to reduce their carbon footprint, as it still helps in the long run, people also need to understand that companies and industry are the largest producers of greenhouse gasses. To compliment op's comment, Kurzgesagt also has a good video which talks about how we as individual people impact the climate, aswell as how companies and governments impact the climate.
It’s really telling when the first options on Wren seem to be flights… really don’t think the average person is taking 4-12 roundtrips a year. Also feels really “Offset your guilt by paying us instead!”

Coffee does more than "prevent getting sleepy" actually, it increases heart rate and blood pressure, thus increasing oxygen flow to the brain. The blocking of adenosine (cAMP) prompts norepinephrine - also called noradrenalin - which is very similar to adrenaline (epinephrine), stimulating the heart.
I really feel this is missing from the video and giving a slightly misleading picture - not making you sleepy is not all of it, and we all know coffee can increase heart rate ("racing").
Otherwise, excellent video!

It’s interesting the grift of carbon footprint caught on so much since it was popularized by BP, if you reduced your carbon foot print to zero for your whole life it would only save a 1/10th of a second of carbon produced from your average US natural gas power plant.

@@PutkisenSeta what is the point of your response? Seems like you’re just trolling.

@@PutkisenSeta the problem isn’t unsolvable, you just have to attack it at its source. Although I don’t think that we’ll defeat the ills of capitalism through the electoral process. I definitely do appreciate absurdist humor though, it’s my favorite form of comedy.
@@yeoldewar1014 bro do you not realise that anyone complaining about the environment or capitalism on the internet is just either an idiot or a hypocrite, the computer or phone you are using is a direct product of capitalism and chances are exploitation in a third world country of both the child who probably made it and all the children digging for rare materials in Africa and Asia, that's how the world works that why you have any of the clothes on your back, electronics in your house and even the internet itself is a capitalist invention, and the electricity your using come from a power station most likely, you yourself destroy the planet in doing everything you're moaning about, you partake in it the same as everyone else, if you want to bitch and moan about the environment and capitalism go start your own commune in the middle of no where without electricity, plumbing or anything you haven't personally made and produced yourself, without exploiting the world around you adding to climate change. You sound like such a sad or hatefilled human being, acting like you'll be some vanguard of the communist revolution when chances are you're just a keyboard warrior with no discernable skills that will be one of the first against the wall or sent to a gulag if communism was ever actually implemented in he western world.

Whoah! Didnt expect you here, Adrian!
Thoroughly enjoy your videos, despite how grim they are.
coffee has three ways of working not just one. 1 is it blocks sleepy receptors as you said
2 is that it makes your body release adrenaline which makes you more awake and alert and increases your heart rate
and finally 3 it makes your brain more sensitive to and release more dopamine, acetylcholine, and to a lesser extent serotonin.
I do completely respect you as a content creator, but I feel like I need to mention that simply offsetting your carbon footprint doesn't work. A tree planted this year takes on average 20 years to take in carbon, so it's not sustainable to just say you'll plant a tree for every long haul flight, and continue to pollute without any thought. Offsetting has it's place, but it worries me that I'm seeing a rise in the commodification of offsetting. While I'm sure there are many really important projects funded by Wren, offsetting is not and shouldn't be marketed as the quick easy fix to climate change.
One of the many problems with these projects is that they mostly use Pines as a reforestation type of tree, and they not only impoverish the soil, but help spread forest fires. Not to mention what these NGOs do in the countries they operate...yesterday I was reading a story about WWF, and it's absolutely terrifying.
Not to mention the changes of some individuals will do nothing compared to entire countries (specifically India and China) with increasing emissions year over year
Well Emily, please give us a better solution. The guy is doing a brand deal with a product he actually cares about, not declaring it the solution to climate crisis. Something helps better than nothing in the end.
@@cartermariano It's more complicated than just pines being 'reforested', It's about whether the trees being planted nourish native biodiversity (i.e. actually reforesting), as opposed to just planting a monoculture of trees over a vast expanse. This is especially relevant because more often than not the trees are planted with the intention of being cut down which just means they will release the carbon that they store back into the atmosphere.
@@noah1535Its true, asdly. I*ve been saying this for years now, if people were actually interested in reducing carbon output, we, globally, would be moving away from traditional power and go totally nuclear. Heck with our methods, the emissions from nuclear power plants we build today could very well be near zero, its insane. But people are too spooked over two nuclear crieses that were caused entirely by government negligence.
Tho i suppose i cant blame them, since most countries cant be bothered to put in the little extra to make things actually function.
This is great. It's videos like this as well as James Hoffman's book that really got down to the nitty gritty of how coffee is made that got me to be more discerning whenever I buy coffee these days. Lotta these folks working the coffee plantations aren't getting compensated well enough for the hard work they put themselves through for a luxury that so many people take for granted.

Point is both of your languages sound funny and I do not blame the English for mixing you two up when they are constantly stuck in their own bubble.
I just love the brief moment of the spiffing brit
Me too
I know someone who drives like 5 mintues to Starbucks every single morning, then buys something with a massive name (she told me but I can't remember). At $7 she pays $2550 per year not including the opportunity cost of 10 mintues of driving every day. Alternatively store bought coffee makes around 20 10 cup pots of coffee. Even assuming what she bought was 24 straight ounces of coffee, the storebought coffee is like $0.50 per 24 ounces.
I love learning stuff from you!
I would also like to remind everyone that, as good as reducing your carbon footprint is, especially by funding orgs like in the Video, often contract sides like this take a large amount of the money and the orgs tend to receive a comparatively small amount, so if possible donating directly to the orgs tends to be more useful
And carbon offsets for individuals have nowhere near the impact as carbon legislation for big producers of greenhouse gases. Supporting strong legislation is your best bet and organizations that lobby on your behalf are also worth your money but get comparatively little ad revenue to make their impact seen online.
agreed. its less than a drop in the ocean because no matter how many people make the effort, big corporations are accelerating the climate crisis much more than any individual or group of individuals could ever offset. supporting local politicians who want to make climate change policy is the best way to help the planet. Having said that, doing your part will lead. y example for others, and could lead to more political support in the community
@@ethandoingstuff1433I've just given up hope, politicians don't care and nothing we do can fix what our ancestors have done
I don't think this comment gives the right incentive to people, they'll just get demotivated.
also be careful of scammers, like more than half the "offsetters" out there dont actually do anything except take your money and send you a picture of the same tree they sent to 600k other people.
Honestly, the sponsor this video sounds like carbon taxes for users rather than producers of carbon emissions, basically get people to pay rather than industries, like "recycle your plastic" vs "don't produce plastic in the first place", this is the kind of thing that should be funded through taxes on the industries responsible, along stuff like rebates on poor families that can't afford the shiny electric car that you want them to buy to not feel guilty about their emissions.
Well, I feel like what you're talking about almost sounds like trickle down economics/carbon reduction.
Ultimately, it's going to take concerted efforts from manufacturers and users. Also, When you take Somalia charcoal production or India massive increase in power consumption from their coal reserves, it's actually the end user that is responsible for a sizeable chunk of all CO2 production. Heating homes I think takes up 1/3 of all emissions, if I'm not mistaken.
I mean, taxes on users or producers usually end up the same, because the industry is just going to offload the costs on the users anyway.
@@studentt6064 Difference is how those are dealt with. A company seeing its prices rise will try and find ways to lower them, so that ends up with companies working to get rid of the cause of that tax, in which case would mean investment in something greener as source.
But people don't really have many options to lower emissions in an effective way, and companies aren't gonna be very helpful on that front.
@@studentt6064 They generally don't unless they absolutely have to because most companies are very aware that consumers are price sensitive. There's a reason why consoles for example are often sold at a loss and their prices stay the same even when the parts rise in price massively. It's because companies are willing to have a smaller profit margin if it means off setting more products because it isn't necessarily easy to scale down production. Things like food, rent, utilities and healthcare are the exception here because consumers don't really have a choice in whether to buy them or not.
In the case of plastic waste you just need to retool your production lines to start using some other material, the plastic in packaging is generally the biggest issue but you can in many cases go back to paper and cardboard packaging which is much easier to recycle. This would be encouraged by a carbon tax which raise the costs of products which are carbon intensive like plastic which means that suddenly products that weren't as competitive but had lower carbon emissions actually become competitive.
@@fedbia2003 Its end users faults that the world wont build nuclear power plants? its end users fault that the only decent option for food comes in one time use packaging versus the slightly more costly packaging that can be reused (glass bottles for concentrated liquid for example as you can sell coca cola syrup and let the end user water it down with the water infrastructure, then they reuse the bottle or reeturn it) or even making end users buy reusable storage containers so the only waste is the packaging for bulk materials that could even still be reused. End users have no decision making power over any step of the process.
I love your videos! You could teach me about literally anything and I’d watch it
The change of shots is amazing I rewatched that like 10 times
I get this is sponsored content, but its important to point out how miniscule an impact your average person has on the environment. When we have multinational corporations putting out massive amounts of CO2, the impact of just one person is *tiny.*
Now add one with all the other persons and you get over a Billion. Now that will have an a huge impact. Now think about why corporations don't care about the environment. Ohh, that right to lower costs so more people will buy those stuff. We are all responsible for this mess and it's time we all pitch in and do what we can, because just like one plus billion can a negative impact. One plus a billion can a positive impact.
@@meoff7602 Thinking a billion will follow is naïve to a childish level. Humans naturally take the path of least resistance.
@@CunnyMuncher Not even close to point. I can only assume your childish brain can't comprehend. Even though I'm sure it's just your excuse to do nothing and take the path of least resistance. Your part of the problem. It will always be someone else's fault. Someone elses responsible to fix.
I've seen this behavior when I was a supervisor. No one wanted to clean and used the go to excuse that no one else cleaned. So I started cleaning. Vatn you guess what happened. They just clinged to thier excuse.
@@meoff7602 Which do you think will be easier: convincing billions of people with their own complex lives - many of whom don't have the financial means to offset or even reduce their contribution to climate change - to completely fix this issue, or mandating that the hundreds of corporations contributing the most to the problem do something about it?
@@meoff7602 Blah blah blah, kid

@@GMRay739 lol, yeah, I know, I have DEFINITELY been there.
A lot of the material is super interesting, and I love the lab work, but by god some of this just feels like my elementary school teachers saying "you won't have a calculator in your pocket when you get older. Now do your long division".
It's actually been really interesting seeing how some profs have adjusted to online classes and exams.
Some went for tests that were more focused on the application of knowledge to scenarios that were not implicitly covered in class (eg: "what are some possible results if the oxyanion hole in X enzyme collapsed", if we'd gone over like, the normal function of the enzyme and inhibitor reactions or whatever). That approach is awesome, and makes people feel like there is actually a point to learning the material, but requires actually personally marking the exams, and having questions with multiple potential answers. And I get that marking upwards of a hundred exams sucks, but...yeah.
On the other hand, some stuck with the old standby of "what is cleaved by C3 convertase"-you know, results that are easily googleable, or just need verbatim quotes from the notes, and then got angry at the class for cheating when the average was 95%-Not so fun.

I respect this video immensely. Instead of saying "Don't buy coffee", you're instead saying "try and buy your coffee from somewhere that sells a specific type of bean to help discourage deforestation and once the grounds are done, compost them."
Word bro. I also respect how instead of saying "don't pay my mother to smash her cheeks", you're instead saying "please pay my mother to clap her cheeks because we are in desperate need of money."
"Compost them, it stops carbon from being released at garbage tips"
As opposed to releasing it at home, in compost.
Are coffee bean grounds even good for compost?

@@TherealTenmanI They aren't used for fertilizer at garbage dumps. Compost is a much more renewable area for organic food waste. I do believe companies should offer this service as well
@@MrJr1976 Is it though? I literally don't know. What nutrients are kept in used coffee grounds?
Plus his original point was environmentalism carbon footprint BS, meaning he doesnt know that carbon here is the same as carbon there.
@@TherealTenmanI Seriously just look it up. They are good and my comments keep getting deleted.
The science of caffeine was cool to learn. I'd been under the impression it was a stimulant that the body just steadily adjusts to over years of exposure to it takes more to get the same rush from it, but it actually being something that just blocks off receptors that would otherwise take in a hormone that makes us sleepy was interesting, and anecdotally makes a lot of sense with the actual experience I've had with coffee being more akin to "stops me getting more tired" than actively "wakes me up/ keeps me awake".
Actually it's more than not making you sleepy, since the blocking of adenosine (cAMP) prompts norepinephrine - also called noradrenalin - which is basically adrenaline. It increases blood pressure and heart rate, increasing oxygen inflow to the brain, etc.
I really feel this is missing from the video and giving a slightly misleading picture - not making you sleepy is not all of it, and we all know coffee can increase heart rate.
Your body also produces more of the receptors with time if you’re taking caffeine, hence why the withdrawal from caffeine can make you exhausted and moody. Your body is uptaking more adenosine.
@@slopcrusher3482 Yes, also creating a habituation effect (over time, caffeine will be less effective because there are more receptors to fill).
The receptors probably also decrease again over time if you stop taking in caffeine. Sometimes I stop caffeine intake for a week or so and feel it getting more effective again. Though I'd have to read up on scientific articles to be able to say what periods of time might be how effective there.
By the way, the video also mentions that there's more than caffeine in coffee, and I think I read an article once stating that caffeine may not be the only thing that makes coffee effective, since if you isolate it (just take caffeine), it doesn't have as strong an effect. I'd have to research more on that.
coffee has three ways of working. 1 is it blocks sleepy receptors as you said
2 is that it makes your body release adrenaline which makes you more awake and alert and increases your heart rate
and finally 3 it makes your brain more sensitive to and release more dopamine, acetylcholine, and to a lesser extent serotonin.
Also weird to learn that the body actively makes a hormone to 'make' you feel tired.

You know what is a real nightmare: coffee brewing. The diverse methods used to brew, the grind size for each, the types of beans used, the time to brew, the preinfusion time and the pressure (if applicable), etc. It's pretty much an entire science.
James Hoffman will hate me - press button on grinder to set it going, once done put 4ish heaped teaspoons into the filter paper in the clever coffee dripper. pour what I think is right amount of just off the boil water in. stir for a bit, let stand for another bit. there I am. None of that weighing anything nonsense, all volumes or eyeballing. good enough for me. Though it does turn out my out the tap water chemistry is pretty much perfect, or last time I looked it was.

I love your content, but there's mounting evidence that carbon offset is dubious at best. There's multiple articles by people much smarter than me discussing how carbon offsets projects are often never completed, and that they draw attention away from the root cause of the problem (for example, cleaner transportation). Not to mention, personal responsibility for climate change is also basically a scam.
Plus, plants need carbon dioxide. They turn it into extra oxygen that we breathe. So just keep polluting.
You didn't mention one part of the history of coffee that I feel we should all know:
Coffee outside of the horn of Africa used to SUCK.
The reason for that is that coffee was a priced commodity that only grew around that region and to prevent the farmers, merchants and rulers from missing out on that trade, the beans were roasted before they were sold. That way, people buying them could not plant their own. This meant that by the time your beans were bought, transported to, let's say, Amsterdam, sold again, tansported to London before finally finding their way to the custom's house, the beans would have been weeks old at the minimum.
Then, to ensure quality and to prevent people from cutting the valuable commodity with things that weren't meant to be there, the beans were centrally ground, brewed, put in sealed barrels and then distributed to coffee houses, where it would then sit for a while longer before being reheated and consumed.
So coffee would have been HORRID back in the day.... and it was still very popular. That means that people either liked the rush a lot, or that it was just as bad as other drinks...
I'm very grateful to live in modern times where I have a shop that roasts its own beans 2 days a week within walking distance.
Africa was doing work back then too
Let's not forget another reason coffee would've been so horrid, primarily in America: food adulteration. During the 1800's through early 1920's, coffee (among many other foods) were often adulterated, meaning they had other additive ingredients in them that were often at the least fairly gross or annoying to be eating, and at were at most toxic and/or deadly to the human body otherwise. Coffee was no exception to the former situation, with grounds frequently being mixed with large ratios of burned and/or roasted chicory and other seeds/beans to make easier to sell in bulk and basically scam the buyer.
@@boomboomfiyah "would you want a dash of cocaine with that"
Not just that, but also because the dry method was used almost everywhere. The dry method actually makes excellent coffee, but *only if its done in a dry, hot region*. If its done somewhere very humid (aka most places it was being made) then the dry method produces mold and other microbes that make the coffee taste far worse.
and there i thought i'd be gross for drinking half-day-old cold coffee (without reheating)...
OMG, that you'll be back bit had me in stitches!
Hey! Anodyne! :D They roast here in Wisconsin! 10 minutes away from me haha. Their coffee is amazing, and super ethically produced/sourced.
With existence being such a nightmare, coffee makes it easier to swallow
Only time spitting is acceptable.
Irish Coffee even more so.
While offsetting is great and all, at the consumers level us attempting to combat climate change is mostly just to make us feel better like we're doing something, energy companies and manufacturers are the ones who must be made to drastically change their methods to stop damaging the systems that remove CO2 from our air and slow or stop the rate at which they add CO2 to the atmosphere. We must all vote for those who will put forward a more environmentally focused agenda that will help us achieve anything against climate change. And we have to do it as soon as possible
By the way, if you're reading this you should also vote for those who stand behind Nuclear power, it's a vital stopgap to allow our renewables to catch up, some European nations are attempting to completely decommission their Nuclear plants and go back to relying on other power sources, in many cases coal and oil, we have to stand up against that.
@@umad42 i fucking love nuclear power, the one thing that can absolutely murder Big Oil, and you dont giant amounts of minerals (like Solar)
Here here. It's all about voting with your actual vote and with your wallet!
Surely energy companies and manufacturers are just following the market that we set?
@@IAmNotKira Yes, but how they go about fulfilling our demands as consumers is up to them. There is an active choice they must make in every step of manufacturing goods between carbon neutral or beneficial options and the cheap and dirty way. From how their plants are constructed to the materials they use and how they dispose of excess material. Same with power companies, when a company builds a new plant to meet customer demand there is, obviously a choice to be made on what sort of power plant they are going to use. I understand that solar doesn't work everywhere, and that wind and hydro don't either but there are far better options than coal or oil, but coal and oil are *cheap* so they decide to pollute more to save money. They could make power ethically and cleaner but they choose not to. It's infuriating

Hmmm oops
Yay for caffeine binding with my adenosine receptors and actually behaving like adenosine within my body! Now I have to rely on alternative methods to get energy.
technically speaking holding your breath for rest of life seams possible to me .... if you suffocate then it sure was for rest of your life
You know, you're not wrong
I think that page, which it promotes, is a "scam" no matter what option you chose, the price is based on what you choose, so if you choose the worst options, the more it will charge you, maybe they already changed it, I don't know, but That's how it was recently, so be careful and don't support that type of page since the carbon footprint you leave is not compared to big companies

My best friend recently passed away from covid... we both loved your Bob ross animations especially when he swims by and says I like water lol
To remember him that's the tattoo I'm gonna get
It's okay! You're allowed to have an unhealthy Jeff Goldblum obsession. It's only natural.
As a 3rd worlder from a coffee growing country, I'll continue shamelessly using my motorcycle since my carbon print is negligible compared to most of y'all

@@thatguybrody4819 the hell does that even mean? O.o
The camera person recording your antics at 7:00. So funny!!
This guys so entertaining he could make a 17 minute video on coffee and I still watch the whole thing
I know Denmark is a low lying country, and basically right next to the Netherlands, but we are not dutch, i hope this is a joke that i don't understand, r/woosh and all. Love your videos, expected more geographical knowledge from you, but it's ok.
As a Dutchman I got real confused there for a second! I too hope it's a joke that went over my head!
Feeling the same man, i was really confused too
as a canadian I to went WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
As a Dane i also needed to watch that twice and was like "Undskyld mig! Jeg er ikke fra Holland!" XD
@@MrHoberg I mean, I'm Dutch and not even I am from Holland ;-)
Ah yes: the krebs cycle. This, a level photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are the main reasons I loved and hated a level biology

As a newcomer to UpIsNotJump and a long time Spiff fan I really enjoyed the surprise Tea drinker
couple of things:
A) This is a great video, I'd love to see more edutainment from your channel. Perhaps you can make a similar video on tea eventually. Keep up the good work.
B) The thing with Biochar, I may check myself later, but aren't the redwood forest fires in California somewhat integral to the natural processes of the biome? Does this initiative disrupt that, and if so, how is that disruption measured against the CO2 releases? I'm curious on the subject, I may edit this post later if I find any answers in my research.
C) Glad to see Spiffing in there, couldn't talk about coffee without him, lol. Def needs to show up if you do a tea video.
D) Something of note: In a lot of places in America, the independant cafe has somewhat gone the way of the dodo. Obviously the closer you move to big cities, the more you'll find, and obviously there are outliers, but significantly more common places to buy prepared coffee at this point in the States are Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and several regional Gas Station chains such as WaWa on the East Coast. This means in the scenario described in which you would ask your barista where the beans came from, the closest you might get to a satisfying answer is a company line, depending on the location. The most ethical option is often to grind and brew your own beans, which pre-pandemic was difficult because coffee was often needed quickly before commutes. However, now that people work at home, it is at least a little easier to justify. That being said, convenience is always going to be a more heavily considered factor for the majority of consumers than ethical ramifications. Of course, post pandemic, assuming that we ever return to even a semblance of normality, there may be oportunities to start more ground roots, experienced based cafe's in a world where Starbucks has permanently streamlined their business to focus less on in-store customers, and more on online pick-up and drive through orders. This is just my personal take, perhaps people from different areas of this country have a different perspective. Less of an arguement than food for thought I suppose.
Anyway, great work, all the best.
I personally don't mind the switch from video game vids. Very enjoyable video, good work!
Your video implies that coffee plantation is somewhat responsible for the deforestation of the Amazon. That is note the case. Brazil is indeed the biggest producer of Coffee but most of the production happens in the South (thousand of miles away from the Amazon). The forest we did cut to plant it though is called the Atlantic Forest which was indeed completely devastated not only by coffee but also by also Sugar Canes, Ranching and all other types of human activities.
Just though I had to clarify that.
Rip to the Atlantic Forest
All forms of industrialized agriculture will have an effect on the environment. Just gotta hope lawmakers and regulators exist lol. Sugar cane industry lined the pockets of Florida politicians for decades causing much damage to the environment
not really though, the brazilian agricultural frontier has been growing over the amazon rainforest for decades now, it is very naive to assume that just because MOST of it is growing in the southern part it doesn't affect the amazon rainforest. a quick google will show that Rondonia is the 6th largest producer of coffee in Brazil, and guess what, it's in the amazon rainforest. Also, the growing need for land to plant different crops, pushes the frontier further into the amazon, if most of the land in MG, SP, RJ, etc is occupied growing coffee, if you want to plant soybeans you are going to need to expand further into untouched land.
@@beig Coffee production in the North Region of Brazil (Amazon) represents less than 5% than all production in Brazil. Even less of the worldwide production. It is a big far cry from "The best place to produce coffee is in the rain forest".
The biggest culprit of current Amazon deforestation is Ranching.
@@Warkid1993 Not that I disagree, views on deforestation are often very naive about the impact of human activity on the environment.
Moar videos! I know that you lead a busy life .... But pwease, hire people to help you do it! You're so genuinely creative - I know that this isn't your "everyday you" but a persona - yet, we can still feel how much love is being put into these videos, as well as the fact that you're a really good person :).
I'm saying this as a frenchie, and we both know that the war between our countries will never end :D (we haz moar land, and moar cheese - joo haz moar rain, and dentists)
I've watched this video as much as I've played Elden Ring. It's just that good. Please. Please. Don't stop making videos.
I can imagine so many baristas hate the question "where does the coffee beans come from?"
I mean, if they do they probably just generally hate being a barista. For coffee nerds like me, origin and roast is everything. Thats like saying bartenders get tired of being asked what brand of whiskey they have
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 A lot of them are just gonna be employees not people who particularly care about coffee even if their job might lead them to it. So to them it would be annoying because they just work there and don't know everything about how it works.
Wren is a corporation that takes a 20% cut on your donation. If you want the most impact for your money, donate straight to the non-profit organizations which have the best co2 to dollar ratio. For example Eden Reforestation Projects as one of the best ones! :)
Ps. Good video though. :)
You realize they'll just cut the forest down for lumber later, right? Ugh, you can take the whitey out of the third world but you can't pull his head out of his ass. They're people. People are clever. You're not, not up there.
@@PutkisenSeta No. For example Eden makes legal contracts with the governments of the counties that are binding, the forests will not be cut down. Also Eden only plants in places, where communities of villages get huge benefits from their forests, and they will take care of them. :)
Your comment is misinformed and quite simply not true.
I have only just found this channel and I live for all these game and meme references
I may be new here, but wow I was a little shocked to hear spiff! I WASN'T EXPECTING HIM TO BE HERE BUT ALRIGHTY THEN!
The yogcast crossover I never expected but thoroughly enjoyed
Man I keep forgetting he's technically part of the yogs now
2:57 Fun fact about this; it wasn't intended to be a disguise, everyone knew it was the Sons of Liberty. They dressed as Native Americans because they thought it was the best way to look as American as possible, rather than looking British. Sort of ironic considering what happened to the Native Americans in Massachusetts in the previous century. It's a fact that not many people know.
Now that you've drank coffee you should have enough energy to make Existence Is An Absolute Nightmare Part 3
Love the video! Also cool pants!
Is the Denmark (which contains Danish) being shown as the dutch (who are from the Netherlands) intentional? And which one is right, did Denmark spread it or did the dutch?
considering the dutch's closer ties to indonesia, i would make the assumption it was us dutchies spreading it to asia
@@shadowsketch926 Almost certainly since the Dutch are also responsible for the first overseas tea exports in the early 1600s.
I am wondering this too, although I assume it's the Dutch because Dutch East India company and *gekoloniseerd*
It's definitely the Dutch that spread it, I think showing Denmark is just a mistake
i have literally never touched a cup of coffee in my life but i'll sit here and watch this man with orange spandex pants explain it for 15 minutes.
...and the next thing you are going to tell us is that everything you say is a lie...right ?
LOL
I don't drink coffee either. I thought it was just me. =D
I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, so nice to see the t-shirt.
Did folks mention that you left out the whole "Roasting" step with all it's variations and carbon footprint issues? At least I missed it when I watched. Laughed the whole way through tho. Nice job.

What about his video on fallout 2?
This video looks like a high school project though
@@Faux_Fox_ Imagine not liking a video because someone have a different opinion then yours
@@Falorin what does it have to do with me not liking the video? The comment was about being disappointed & had nothing to do with the actual entertainment value of it
@@Faux_Fox_ then its me who didn't understand your comment sorry about that
Good video! But carbon offset is a scam for many reasons... one of them being that the offsets are generated over years in the future while the emissions are generated almost instantly at this moment
Ok I’m an idiot what is a carbon offset
@@gorb5555 a carbon footprint is anything that produces co2 into the environment basically. Anything like cars, planes all that stuff
@@gorb5555 carbon offset is the practice of setting in motion the plant/resources to recycle the carbon dioxide in the air into oxygen through whatever processes is chosen basically replace the carbon dioxide you produce throughout your life into oxygen usually through donating to a foundation dedicated to carbon offset or buying bonds that are used to invest into businesses that to just that hope that explains sorry for my tangent
are there better reasons? cause that one sucked. :)
This kitchen looks amazing. Great kitchen counter!
i used to study in a university focused on the agricultural field, we had a trip to a small town called Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, in the almost northern region of Mexico, its at the top of a mountain, we were visiting the locals who were all farming coffee and were explaining the production of coffee, they use the shade method of growing the plants and also the sun drying method, the local shops all have different bags of coffee from different farmers, i recomend anyone who reads this comment to go and visit the area, its a good and humble place
Literally yesterday I was thinking about reading the history of coffee and today you're posting this video. Thank you, I loved it ❤
I love this documentary type videos, amazing as always
Loved the ragging on Al's Toy Barn to keep it light hahaha
Oh. My gawd. First time on this channel and the "dry method" part killed me 😂
as an American I can say your explanation on how the Boston Tea Party went was 100% accurate
I chipped my tooth is the most relatable thing in this video. I did it so many time i switched to a plastic cup.
I skipped watching this originally because i hate coffee but it seems me and you can somewhat relate thanks for the awesome video I wish you well
Biochar is wonderful. Especially in the garden when soaked in natural liquid fertilizers such as "worm compost tea."
As a Vietnamese, coffee culture here is huge and most coffee (even instant) are usually grow within the country mostly because we don't use the same type of coffee bean as the rest of the world (usually the world drink arabica which is mostly grown in colombia where as vietnam grow robusta).
First time travelling abroad, coffee taste really weird for me till i realize there different type of coffee bean and the taste is fairly different.
I'm enjoying these non video game reviews. High quality content that we've come to expect from Up.
Okay but like I'd love to see more of this type of content (including the science) on more topics you're interested in!
There are so many moments in the video where you had instant regret. Loved it.
Spiff will invade anyone that tries to shit on tea
The 1 second spiffing brit cameo lmfao
Funny shit man I haven’t even watched the video and I get 2 un-skippable ads for coffee
