The Importance of Greening Cafes
The U.S. has over 20,000 coffee shops, and in each of these retail spaces there is an incredible opportunity to help reduce the specialty coffee industry’s collective environmental impacts. Considering Americans were estimated to use 23 billion paper cups last year and restaurants are the #1 consumer of electricity in the retail sector, cafes are directly responsible for huge amounts of waste, energy use and water consumption in our communities every day. By working together and sharing resources, the coffeehouse community can minimize these impacts and green their industry - from the bottom up.

I missed it! I had a couple of last minute orders that had to get done, and they had to get done during the webinar. Is it saved somewhere so I can watch it even if I wasn't able to participate?

And it's the right thing to do!

I also enjoyed the webinar and learned a lot. The concept of saving water and energy is very similar to the rest of the shop...a small savings can really add up over time. We operate in a world of small margins, so every little bit helps and most of these changes are easy ones!
