**Just a heads up, this interview discusses adult content and may trigger some. Also, would say not approrpriate for younger listeners, but such an important discussion on the coffee industry**
Chris welcomes Etelle Higonnet an environmental and human rights activist with a JD from Yale Law School. The conversation delves into the interconnectedness of human rights and environmental issues, highlighting the destructive impact of various industries, particularly focusing on the coffee industry. 
Etelle discusses their work with organizations like Greenpeace and Human Rights Watch and introduces Coffee Watch, an initiative aimed at curbing deforestation, ensuring ethical practices, and achieving living incomes for farmers and workers in the coffee industry. They emphasize the power of consumer action, the importance of ethical purchasing, and the effectiveness of petitions and activism in driving corporate and legislative change. Listeners are encouraged to become 'sustainable coffee ninjas' to help transform the coffee industry and support broader environmental and human rights goals.
