WAKECup: Bamboo Bottle & Backpack
Did you know that each year, 100 billion coffee cups end up in landfills. Were you aware that a plastic bottle can take up to 1000 years to decompose. It is predicted that by 2050, there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish. This is why it is so important to educate yourself on the disposable culture. Single use plastic is the real enemy. Brands can make a huge difference when they make their products from natural, recyclable materials like bamboo, stainless steel, copper and glass. Its important to realize it’s not just the products themselves, but also what the products arrive in. Brands who use plastic-free packaging, including green jiffy bags, recycled cardboard and paper tape are paving the way for a more sustainable future. One of the brands who is way ahead of the game is Global WAKEcup.
Global WAKEcup
Global WAKEcup is a zero waste reusables brand with a mission to end single use plastic pollution for good. The company is more than just stylish, sustainably sourced coffee cups and water bottles. It’s a movement towards a world where everyone can choose to reuse, and say no to single-use. I participated in their 1-week zero single use plastic challenge. It was amazing how much of a difference you can make when you become aware of the daily choices you are making. Small changes matter, so I hope that I can help give you the tools and resources to make a difference.
If you’re not convinced already, maybe this will help! They donate 10% of all their profits to the Marine Conservation Society! From organizing mass beach cleans to campaigning for plastic bans, every purchase you make is helping Global WAKEcup and their partners to fund vital work protecting sealife and marine habitats.
On their website you can even choose the “shop by values” section with options like:
- sustainable
- Vegan
- Plastic free
- Recycled materials
This shows how much they care about the environment. It demonstrates the amount of effort they put in to making it easier for their customers to shop sustainably. Now that you know about the amazing company let’s move into the products that are perfect for sustainable travel. WAKEcup offers a variety of products. Today I want to focus on two of the most useful or “starter” items for the beginner traveler looking to become more eco conscious.
