Explore the realms of Earth Day with Silk Road Coffee:
Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22nd since 1970! Earth Day is all about celebrating the Earth through advocating for environmental policy changes, essentially it's about raising awareness about sustainability and conservation. Many people plant trees or clean up litter on this day. It serves as a reminder to us all how important it is to take care of our planet, so we can all take action towards a greener Earth.
What is Silk Road Coffee doing to support this initiative:
Firstly, we operate on a minimal waste policy in order to keep our carbon footprint low and avoid unnecessary waste; this includes reusing where we can with paper and labels, also through ordering stock as and when we need it to avoid old stock going to waste.
Secondly, all of our packaging is either recyclable and/or made of recyclable materials. Additionally, we aim to use as much recyclable materials as we can. Where we can't, we aim to use materials which will last us for a long time, like pens and folders.
Thirdly, we have partnered with Amos Trust to donate a portion of our profits, from the Venetian Voyage coffee, to Climate Crisis. Every time you order our Venetian Voyage roast, you contribute to the bigger picture of fighting climate change.
What can you do to support Earth Day this year:
- Plant a tree in your back garden
- Collect litter from you street or local park
- Reduce your water wastage by taking slightly short showers or saving left over water to your plants
- Make your house energy efficient through solar panels, eco light bulbs, and instillation
- Try not to charge your devices over night
- Shop organic or grow your own
- Try thrifting instead of fast fashion
- Try collecting in store rather than ordering online
- Look for paper packaging rather than plastic
- Try composting food waste
The list is endless; the more small actions we do, the more we help our Earth!
Happy Earth Day from Silk Road Coffee Co.
