Looking for small ways in which you can make a difference to your eco-footprint?

 

La Di Da Interiors have some great ideas for everyday living, or for gifts that benefit the planet as much as the person receiving them.

 

Plastic Not Fantastic 

Did you know that almost half of all coffees and hot drinks in the UK alone are now sold in disposable cups? 2.5 billion coffee cups are used and thrown away each year just in the UK – enough to stretch around the world roughly five and a half times! Sadly, less than 1 in 400 – just 0.25% – are recycled. This dishwasher safe Bamboo Reusable Cup is the perfect vessel from which to drink your favourite morning cuppa on the way to work. Eco-friendly, sustainable and reusable, this cup is made from renewable bamboo fibre including the lockable lid (unlike many ‘eco’ cups which have silicone lids). It has an ample 500ml capacity with sleeve for really hot drinks. Dishwasher safe, odour free and taste neutral!
