I rarely drink coffee, I gave up caffeine a number of years ago. My wife always looks to see if her coffee beans are "fair trade'. This article lists some other things to look for, which I had never heard -- "bird friendly" etc.
I am not a 'treehugger' so to speak; but, if I have a choice to spend my family's money, one way or the other; knowing the options is always good. I'd rather spend my money on a product where someone is a good steward of resources.
