Whether it’s a latte, cappuccino, or just a plan Cup O’ Joe, we do love our coffee.  But did you know coffee is one of the world’s most widely traded commodities?  Or that caffeine is the most commonly used drug in the world?  Coffee:  The World in Your Cup is an exhibit that explores the fascinating world behind the coffee we drink.  Focusing on environmental and social impacts of the coffee industry, the exhibit recommends ways for consumers to make responsible coffee purchases at the grocery store or in a coffee shop.
