Coffee Joe says coffee was never something that anyone gave more than a passing thought to. We just bought it, drank it every day, tossed out the cups, and all the accessories – stir sticks, plastic lids, sugar packages, plastic milkers, napkins – went into the trash. CJ knows that this added to the problem of surplus garbage in the landfills.
Coffee Joe says we are just now starting to realize the foolishness of our actions and are more aware of the consequences of not buying organic. Follow these steps to eco-friendly, organic awareness:
1) use your own refillable cup
2) coffee bags should be compostable
3) coffee filters should be recyclable
4) real spoons instead of plastic stir sticks
5) 100% recyclable napkins
6) returnable milk containers
7) no throwaway plastic water bottles
8) reusable lunch containers
9) recyclable, cloth carry-out bags, not plastic
10) walk, don’t drive, for your afternoon pick-me-up
If we make a conscious decision to be more responsible, it won’t take much effort to bring in huge returns – live and buy organically.
