Is high coffee consumption REALLY so bad for the environment?

Asked by christybird (816points) October 5th, 2007

So I recently played American Public Media’s “Consumer Consequences” online game, http://sustainability.publicradio.org/consumerconsequences/, and it told me that my one cup of coffee per day consumption is really horrible for the environment. Is coffee really so bad? If so, are all coffees bad, even the “fair trade, shade grown, organic” kinds that are available?
