Coffee: The World In Your Cup

October 17, 2009 - January 10, 2010

 

Whether it's a latte, cappuccino, or just a plain 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.

 

Coffee: The World in Your Cup has been organized by the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of Washington, Seattle. Major sponsorship has been provided by The Boeing Company, Microsoft Corporation, Starbucks Coffee Company, and the University of Washington.



This exhibit sponsored locally by:
