Ethical Food and Fairtrade Fortnight: Save 50p on your hot drinks. Just use Reusables

TLDRoffon

To support Ethical Food and Fairtrade Fortnight (EFFF) we are giving students and staff a 50p discount when you use your reusable cups or mugs in the cafés.

A picture of reusable cups with 'Get 50p off' in a blue circle.  Text alongside says - by using reusable cups you get 50p discount on your hot drinks - until 4 March.  Save money while saving the planet.We want to encourage café customers to cut the amount of disposables thrown away and reward responsible behaviour.

In the last full (pre Covid) year the university used over 250,000 disposable hot drinks containers, in the UK we throw away over 2.5 billion!  If everyone brought in their reusable cups or used in café mugs then this could be zero. By simply taking in your reusable hot drink cup or a mug you can significantly cut your environmental footprint.

The 50p discount runs from today until 4 March and we hope that this will encourage people to reuse and maintain the habit.

You can make a difference.

The 50p discount runs at Galley Cafe, Stockwell Street Cafe, Queen Mary Café, Pembroke Café, Pilkington Cafe and Archibald Hay Mess.

This initiative supports SDGs: 12 & 15
