is fair trade certified. For a while, I was buying coffee in a place that used the Rainforest Alliance Cert., but didn't realize how limited it was. Glad I switched already based on other factors.

Sadly because of my acid reflux I have to give up coffee. What's a girl to do?

You have to give up coffee?

Oh dear! I wonder if Denise has seen this yet. Someone having to give up coffee might make her cry!

I wasn't allowed to have coffee when I was a kid either. I always thought it was kind of funny that I was allowed to have tea as a kid but coffee was strictly off limits.

Caffeine addiction is

JeffL — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:21:28 -0500

Caffeine addiction is becoming a serious problem. There are so many
products with caffeine as an ingredient that most people have no idea
just how much caffeine they actually consume every day.I don't really understand your second point, but do object to homosexuality and addiction being even tangentially compared.Thanks for your blog intresting.Thanks for sharing.

Re: BYO mug: Ditch the disposable cup and bottle habit

Bringing our own mug or bottle to coffee shops is a sensational idea. Unfortunately, as the post stated “recycle” is the last part of the chain; reduce, reuse, recycle, with “reuse” crammed in the middle. As a result these two can be shoved in the back of our mind. For those of us who want to help out the environment even more, here are some ways we can in our everyday lives:

1.    Shop at Thrift Stores
2.    Buy a Battery Recharger
3.    Patronize Your Local Businesses

For more suggestions on how to reduce your waste click: http://www.ivillage.com/green/home/0,,bmcmtk9k,00.html

As an aside, getting rid of the chemically coated paper cups, buying second had appliances, and following the other waste reduction suggestions as outlined by the link will not only cut down on toxins we consume and come in contact with on a daily basis; but can help us live healthier, more youthful lives.

SIGG

Good Girl Gone Blog — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:42:19 -0500

I love sigg water bottles- I've already decided I must have one for BlogHer. I even added it to the blogher springpad!

Thx for Reminder!

Laurie_Halo Secretarial — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:52:23 -0500

I have a SIGG water bottle that I use all the time, and a couple of to go mugs for coffee, but this is especially a good reminder to bring one of each with me to BlogHer - no point in wasting paper cups just because I'm going to Starbucks on vacation, not at home!!

lol....geez....i love my caffeine but not quite that much!! http://www.yesiknowwhatcausesthat.blogspot.com

I've "kicked" a lot more than that

Tommie — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 05:41:09 -0500

It CAN be done. I may still have some addictions but you've listed three that aren't any more. Good luck!

Thanks, Sharon!

I'll look into this for sure. I think I rank as one of the less-tolerant of caffeine but I still drink it. Hard to limit everything but at least it's good to know what's in what you consume as much as you can.

"Caffeine Intoxication"

SharonMcEachern — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:55:53 -0500

Caffeine addiction is becoming a serious problem. There are so many products with caffeine as an ingredient that most people have no idea just how much caffeine they actually consume every day. Beverage, food and pharmaceutical products have increasingly more caffeine added -- even chewing gum and potato chips! One energy drink has amost 1200 mg caffeine. One of the problems is "caffeine intoxication," an illness many people don't even know exists. However, the nation's poison control centers and hospital emergency rooms are seeing increasing numbers of people ill due to caffeine intoxication -- more than half are under 18 years old. It is really important to be aware.

Good for you for kicking it, Amanda.

Soda is a tough one. And the headaches I get with no coffee are pretty similar. Caffeine is powerful stuff.

It is a very individual thing, because people differ so much in biology, lifestyle, emotional state, family structure, etc. I still think it comes down to the adverse effect something has on your physical and emotional functioning, and in some cases its impact on your relationships. Sometimes it's hard to know what's really going on with OURSELVES until we get some kind of wake-up call, so it's next to impossible to determine for someone else (Of course I'm speaking outside of a clinical diagnosis here, which is a reality for many people and has its own issues...another post for another website. :))
