6 Degrees of Separation

The three objects I want to research are:

-Contacts
I chose contacts because I wear them all day, every day. Once I thought about how they were made of plastic, I began to think about impacts in my eyes and what it even takes to make a contact. As for the environment, I am curious to learn if any of the components come from nature and how manufacturing contacts effects the environment. Is there any waste from the process?

-Coffee (particularly fair trade vs. non fair trade)
I think coffee will be interesting to research since it is a huge industry, particularly with Starbucks. I love drinking coffee and it is essential to many peoples lives. I am interested to learn about where coffee comes from and the environmental impact on choosing fair trade or not. How does it effect people and the ecosystem? This is an object that I am interested in digging deeper into its' origins.

-Paper
Paper is something that almost everyone uses daily. I know that paper comes from trees, but I want to take it a step further and learn about what happens to the trees and how quickly forests are being destroyed. Aside from trees, I want to know more about what is in paper. Im guessing there is bleach in it because of how white most paper is. I think that researching paper will be very interesting and enlightening because paper is everywhere. People always talk about the effects of plastic in the enviornment, what are the effects of paper and paper production?
