Chris the new barrista, in his previous employment wanted to introduce recycling but the food chain he worked for was not able to incorporate this. When Chris told Mark the owner that his passion was to work somewhere that cares not just for themselves and customers but also the environment, Mark was all ears and set Chris the task to organise the recycling, reusing (most of the empty smoothie and juice bottles) go to local people who like making and preserving their own food and the size of the bottles are just right.
They now have starting composting their food waste using bokashi, this is then going to be used again as a growing medium for some of their locally grown food.
Cans are crushed, paper and cardboard recycled, jam jars and smoothie and juice bottles re used and Chris can be pleased that what he is so passionate about has been implemented by his new employer.
A great example of collaboration giving wonderful results.
Why not come and experience it for yourselves?
