The Carbon Cost of Your Morning Coffee

Lucas and Luna trace the carbon footprint of a single cup of coffee from farm to landfill, revealing that the biggest emissions are not where you think — and that the average American coffee habit adds roughly 200 kilograms of CO₂ equivalent per year. They break down the surprising role of refrigeration, the methane from spent grounds, and why switching to oat milk isn't the silver bullet marketers claim. The episode then explores how a handful of roasters are experimenting with regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration in coffee supply chains, and why the economics of 'carbon-neutral' coffee labels often rely on offsets that don't hold up to scrutiny. A specific, numbers-driven look at a daily ritual with a hidden climate price tag. #CoffeeCarbonFootprint #ClimateEconomics #CarbonPricing #Sustainability #CoffeeSupplyChain #MethaneEmissions #RegenerativeAgriculture #CarbonOffsets #OatMilk #CoffeeRoasters #LogisticsEmissions #Refrigeration #FoodMiles #Composting #GreenPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
