Cool Earth Coffee

Recycle, Re-Use, Replenish

Liquid Velvet is passionate about the environment.we know the planet is heating up,we know that we only have one 'crack' at this fantastic world that we share.
If the human race was a tennant we would be the ones that have the wrecked cars,empty bottles on the lawn and a 'P' lab in the kitchen.
Unfortunately the human race is still trashing this planet faster than a slum Tennant living in slumsville.
Ideally it would be fantastic if the human race could all get on the same page, to make a concerted effort to try and un-do some of the damage and fix some of the wrongs that are being done to Earth,our home,the only place we will ever live in our lifetime,We have to start the journey now, if not for us, for our children and our Grand-children.

Liquid Velvet is determined to minimise our footprint anyway we can. Some of the ways that we try everyday is:

If you have your own cup we will subsidize the cost and knock 20 cents off the cost of your drink, that way we don't have to use a cup.
We recycle our grounds (No not to make coffee..Thats the other crowd) we give them to gardeners, Coffee makes a great organic hash for your roses as well as it is a natural pest deterrent.
Our Coffee and Chocolate is Organic.
We use Melalueca Cleaners which are non-Toxic and natural.
We are evaluating a recycled cup and lids and will let you know as soon as we are happy with the results
WE RECYCLE .......... Do You?
