I read this in an article somewhere. I don't know how true it is, but can you clarify or explain?

Robusta is much cheaper than Arabica, but it is also worse for the environment and your taste buds. Robusta fosters use mono-cropping, the practice of growing the same plant every year in one place. This process yields more space since it involves clear-cutting the forest for the crop. Because Robusta is a more resilient plant than the delicate Arabica, it can be grown in more places, leading to large companies purchasing vast amounts of the rainforest, clear-cutting the land, and planting Robusta beans. When done excessively, mono-cropping erodes the soil and demolishes nutrients that make the soil nearly unusable.  I read this in an article somewhere.

Someone recommended me to watch this YouTube regarding Chernobyl. How true is it? According to the video there was so much cover up as to the real danger of radiation. Watch "The Battle Of Chernobyl - Documentary" on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18o_X696dYw
