I love my morning coffee, can’t do with out my brew !

But Lavazzas wrapped in plastic so whats a girl to do?

Done got myself a bean grinder and buy my (fair trade) coffee beans from the superlative Coffevolution an independent coffee shop run by the owner, in the center of Huddersfield.
£ 15.00 for a 1 kg plastic bag or 7.50 for half a kg – take your own bag or 100g ready ground  in a paper looking bag – didn’t check the lining. For the plastic free person the 500g is of course the best option.
If you want to try before you buy they use the beans in their coffee sold in the café.
There are many other good reasons to go to the café. It is not a chain the ambience is great, you can get wi-fi ,  the paper wrapper for sugar appears to be  plastic free, they have wooden stirrers for the coffee, their biscuits and cakes are home-made and stored unwrapped  in jars and they have a great notice board. Smashing.

  1. Shame Huddersfield is such a long way from here, sounds great.

  2. Our chickens seem fine, thanks. How long did you have chickens for? I’ve got a number of videos of our chickens on my garden blog, but perhaps you have seen them.

  • Plastic lasts for ever and we are using it to make one use, throwaway items. We have created everlasting rubbish and plastic litter is increasing exponentially. Plastic pollution is destroying the landscape, killing wildlife and poisoning the seas.
    .
    Evidence is also emerging that the plastic we use in everyday to wrap our food, wear next to our skin and use to decorate our homes may well be poisoning us.
    .
