* Single use cups aren’t just creating landfill, they’re producing 95.7g of carbon a pop

AMMO >
* This Earth Day, we’re aiming for over 50 cafes to surrender their single use cups!
* Help us save 10,000 cups – that’s nearly 1 tonne of carbon (or a 15,000KM road recce around Australia)
* BYO reusable, or drink in – we’ve got extra ceramics at hand & a standing bar at the ready
* While there’s no national single use cups ban, we’re trialing a one day ban of our own…

SLOW SIEGE >
* Via our Stand Against Waste campaign, we saw reusable cups grow to 47% of takeaway coffees
* We’re on a mission to keep single use cups under 50% & ditch the lid where we can
* Take advantage of the new, new normal – fewer office starts at 9am – drink in with us!

* Maritime shipping is expected to generate almost 17% of the world’s carbon by 2050
* The International Maritime Organization aims to halve emissions by 2050
* We do boatloads of shipping, 2050 is far away, so we’re having a crack at reducing transport emissions ourselves

AMMO >
* Stone’s Throw, our first ever Asia-Pacific blend, reporting for duty!
* Homage to our region’s new quality initiatives, featuring Sumatra, PNG & Byron Bay Australia
* 50% less transport emissions than a typical blend & offset from farm to door

SLOW SIEGE >
* Look out for ‘Stone’s Throw’ origins, as we source more carbon reducing crackers across Asia-Pacific
* That said, we won’t stop shipping from afar. Having no East Africas or Central Americas would result in sharp drops in acidity & in turn, morale (Bring on electric ships & 2050!)
* As far as emissions go, we have many stone’s yet to turn – farm footprints, energy consumption, packaging, the missions continue

* Switching to a vegan diet could be the “single biggest way” to reduce your environmental impact on earth, University of Oxford has found, with up to a 73% reduction in an individual’s carbon footprint
* Going from a heavy meat diet to a vegan one, for 1 year, can save the equivalent amount of carbon of driving round the whole of Australia!
* On the coffee front, a black coffee has almost half the carbon footprint of a milk-based espresso coffee, while plant milks, like oat, have around two thirds of dairy’s footprint

AMMO >
* Enjoy plant milk coffees for the same price as dairy during June at Single O cafes
* Cafes, enter your vegan dishes to get a feature on our menu
* Customers, tag us in your home recipes for your chance to win some merch (and maybe a stray feature)

SLOW SIEGE >
* Black coffee already comprises over 25% of our coffees at Single O Surry Hills, and we envisage that rising as much as 5% a year from 2021 – 2025. Yewww! (Dive into the world of black coffee via subscriptions, Tap In and more)
* Plant milk is also on the rise and accounts for 26% of all coffees consumed
* Switch to plant will continue as we aim to feature more plant based dishes on our menus
