You asked: coffee vs tea, milk choices & the bioplastic myth

Welcome to another This or That episode!

I break down the least impactful options from things you’ve been asking about.

This episode is actually a repost, because some of you have sent in these questions - clearly, we all have choices that keep us up at night. And often, what we expect isn’t actually the truth!

In this week’s selection we have tea vs. coffee, and which is worse for the environment, what the best and worst options are for the milk you use with your drink, and finally, what exactly are bioplastics? And, whether we should even be using them...

Let's talk about:

  • The comparison of tea vs. coffee
  • How much water it takes to make tea and coffee, respectively
  • What the most sustainable version of milk is
  • The worst milk option for the environment
  • The various environmental issues caused by dairy farming
  • The truth behind a big myth about soy farming in the Amazon
  • The difference between bio-based plastics and biodegradable plastics
