Do you know the environmental impact your morning cup of coffee has on birds and other species? Don’t worry, most people don’t either, which is why the National Aviary is hosting a free lecture that asks “Is Your Coffee REALLY Bird Friendly” tonight at 7 p.m.

Radio host and environmental blogger Scott Shalaway will lecture about the impact of commercial production of common things like coffee on birds and the environment as a whole. The event will include also samples of shade-grown, bird-friendly coffee.
