GreenShift @ linuxcaffe

We want to be the greenest caffe on the block, and reduce the amount of garbage we generate. Our neighbours introduced us to GreenShift, suppliers of saner disposables, mostly bio-degradable and with less evil chemical processes. The cups cost more, and we considered just raising our prices to cover it, but decided, instead, to raise awareness.

There's now a 25 cent “take-out” charge, if the order requires any disposables. (we're making an exeption for napkins and wax-paper bags) but we'll only charge once per take-out order, not for every cup or fork, and if you bring your own mug, or enjoy it here, there's no extra charge.

Thanks for being part of the experiment, tell us what you think, great idea ? terrible idea ? you'll never come back ? you'll never go anywhere else ?
