Yesterday after my client meeting, I met my friend Ruth for a cup of coffee at Joe's. Joe's is a coffee place with 5 locations in the city. What I like about them is that they are an environmentally conscious company. They have a compost and recycling program where you can bring coffee grinds and organic material to their store and they will compost it for you. Also, they note that all of their containers are recycled. I love how they are re-using their 5 pound coffee bags as planters in their front window. What an amazing idea.
I like this recycling idea. Not only used coffee can be applied to plants, even the bag is useful.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great idea! Sounds like a great place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for using coffee bags. I would have never thought of using a coffee bag for a planter.
ReplyDeleteThey seem VERY environmentally friendly! I like a business that isn't afraid to go the extra mile for mother earth. They would get my business!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat idea! You could easily make a hanging herb garden with those as the containers.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see them moving to help to save the environment.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Sounds like a great coffee shop, is that dill they have growing?
ReplyDeleteThe bags are not unattractive, either! Shiny! Pretty! Even better that they give you a deal if you bring your cup....
ReplyDeleteDid they give you used coffee grounds? I heard Starbucks will give them away to gardeners to compost in your home garden, but I never walked into the store to ask. I could use a few hundred pounds of grounds!
ReplyDeleteNice. The plants look like asparagus ferns too me.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! The Caribou Coffee shop in my area gives grounds away for free, although I always just compost my own. I'm glad the snow has cleared away enough that you're out and about!
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to advertise as well. Those bag/planters are so cute!
