For Earth Day ‘24 we are partnering with Ground Score Association to promote reusables in cafes. Ground Score does essential work across the city, from running the People's Depot as well as providing trash removal for houseless people. The goal of this partnership is to highlight who is paying the price of disposables being in the environment, and how this issue is intrinsically tied to reusables. The Ground Score team picks up countless disposable cups a day and we want to change that!
