REUSABLES RULE & LET’S CELEBRATE THE TINY WINS ☕️ It’s a good day when a café accepts my reusable cup. 🙌🦙✨ Have you had much luck using your reusable coffee cup recently? Unfortunately, in these times of Covid, there seems to be an unsubstantiated fear around reusable cutlery & containers. Quote from @keepcup : “Sanjaya Senanayake, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Australian National University has confirmed that there's no proven benefit to using disposable cups instead of reusables. Single-use cups are not a sterile fix-all. They can harbor viruses and bacteria and, as highlighted by Upstream, "are subject to whatever pathogens have settled on them from manufacture, transport, inventory stocking, and eventual use.” The World Health Organisation, states that hand washing is one of the best ways to combat viral spread. The same approach applies to all reusables. Clean hands. Clean KeepCup.” @ecowarriorprincess has a great article about this on their site. Here is an excerpt: "Jo Horsley, General Manager of Responsible Cafes, says their initiative aims to show cafe staff and customers that with little effort, a contactless coffee is possible in just three steps: 1. Sit reusable cup on porcelain saucer or napkin on a tray 2. Make coffee in a porcelain ‘drink-in’ cup 3. Transfer into the reusable cup without touching and hand back to customer via the plate Horsley says, “If your cafe still isn’t comfortable to serve in a reusable cup, go without a lid on your disposable if you can. Even this small action taken by many can really add up and go a ways to reducing our single-use plastic use.” . . . #reuserevolution #reusables #smallwins #ecoefforts #keepcup #cleankeepcups #lifeinthetimeofcorona (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIglC_xHI--/?igshid=1di6lhg7fvtqd
