Fair trade, organic, rainforest certified, shade grown coffee

• Coffee production’s environmental problems would be deforestation, pollution from fertilizers and the greenhouse gases emitted from the production

• Societal problems: caffeine is sometimes linked with cancer, birth defects and heart disease. Consumption of lots of coffee is bad because of the caffeine.

• The people in the countries that make the coffee/produce/harvest usually don’t get the money they should get out of making the coffee.

Organic, natural, regular babyfood

• Organic product is generally better because pesticides weren’t used in the making. Natural product is also good because it isn’t artificially made rather than regular which normally uses artificials.

• These products are normally packed in jars and plastic containers.

• The advantages of these packaging would be that they can be reusable but a disadvantage is that it’s not always reused but rather just thrown away which adds up to pollution.
