Have you heard of Plastic Free July<\/a><\/strong>? It’s a global movement to tackle plastic pollution by raising awareness about single-use plastics.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Sustainable Future Network has decided this July to “act local” and take this global movement into local coffee shops.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson Suzanne Mungall said the group had been donated 100 reusable coffee cups, which they have passed on to two Kingaroy caf\u00e9s: Little Italy in Kingaroy Street, and My Wellness Bar in King Street.<\/p>\n

“We decided to focus on coffee cups because of the waste,” Suzanne said.<\/p>\n

Patrons at either of the two caf\u00e9s can ask to use one of the free cups when they order their brews.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“They can then take it home with them, and bring it back the next time,” Suzanne said.<\/p>\n

According to the network, Australians throw away 1.8 billion single-use coffee cups every year.<\/p>\n

And every hour, 200,000 become landfill.<\/p>\n

Suzanne said the network was urging people to commit to only using reusable coffee mugs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Take your clean mug to your favourite coffee shop today!” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
