Coffee residual, conflict of environmental content, environmentalism of the poorAbstract
The contamination from residual coffee water should be understood as a “conflict of environmental content”. In this sense, it is necessary to put it in context, given that the theorization of environmental conflicts has caused debate within the academic com-munity, more still after the successful dissemination of the “environmentalism of the poor” theory proposed by Joan Martínez-Alier and Ramachandra Guha. In view of what has been previously stated, we now undertake the subject of the pollution by the residual coffee water alluding to the discourses that have articulated the civil population as the plaintiff and those that benefited from the fruit as the defendant. Likewise, we will deal with both private and public entities answers to the contamination of the water sources.References
