Air travel leaves quite the carbon footprint, so when you have to take a flight do what you can to reduce your footprint in other areas. Bring an empty to-go mug and water bottle through security and fill em up once you're through!!

Comment below on how long it's been since you've used a paper cup!

Local Grade 7 trying to reduce paper cup use in coffee shops With climate change at the forefront of many minds entering 2020, one Grade 7 student from Canmore is trying to make a difference – one coffee cup at a time

Thanks for a great interview RMO! We appreciate you helping us get the word out about our initiative. Aislin’s wish for 2020 is that we all work to go back to the first R’s-Reduce and refuse. How many single use coffee cups can we refuse in 2020 in exchange for reusable cups? We look forward to hearing your number in December.

Bagel Co has made it easy for you to Re:fill! No deposit needed, just pick a travel mug from their 'library' and away you go. Looking all conscientious and cool. Not to mention you can save 25 to 50 cents for using one as well!

Our community is making some awesome changes. Be part of their movement. The businesses can only do so much. They are relying on us to change our habits - the alternatives are out there.

Tag us if you are using one of their mugs! We would love to share what a wonderful human you are!
