Say goodbye to paper cups

Single-use hot drink cups are one of the most unsustainable forms of plastic consumption on the planet. Half a trillion disposable cups are manufactured annually around the world; that’s over 70 disposable cups for every person on the planet. By swapping this for a more sustainable option, you can drink out of your favourite cup everyday and save the planet at the same time.

The future is paperless

With all the technology that surrounds us, it’s necessary to take advantage of it. Use apps for travelling where possible and send emails instead of sending letters. Where bills are concerned, request from your bank to receive all bills via email or text notification too!

Turn off your Taps 

Turn off any taps when you’re not using them! It seems like the most simple rule but it can be very easy to leave them on whilst brushing your teeth or washing your hands. This way you can conserve water and save money too!
