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
