Tomorrow is Earth Day

Hey everyone!

Roots is committed to being not only socially responsible, but also environmentally responsible. Tomorrow, in honor of earth day, we are going to be offering $1 off if you bring your own cup.

Its a good thing to make a habit out of. Think about how many to-go items you get every week. Add those up. Now multiply it by four. Around 30 a month maybe? Now multiply that by 12….That’s 360 to-go cups or bags or containers a year. Now add that to a landfill. Not good numbers, by any means. And that’s getting only one to-go item a day. Every coffee cup comes with a sleeve, a cup, and a lid. If you go out to get fast food, that’s a styrofoam container, a bag, a cup, napkins, etc ,etc.

The Roots challenge is this. Think about our earth before you throw something is the trash. Can you recycle it? Think about the items you use every day – could one reusable item stand in their place?

Love your earth. Bring your own mug.

Happy Earth Day 2010.
