The Clogherhead Development Group has launched a campaign to encourage the use of reusable coffee cups as part of a litter campaign in the village.
“After seeing a post by our local Cllr. Declan Power in March highlighting single use coffee cups getting dumped in a lifebuoy on the beach we decided to help by promoting reusable coffee cups” said committee member Glenn Gorman.
“By using the same coffee cup when getting a take away coffee you are helping reduce the waste from single use coffee cups in our Village. If you use a reusable coffee cup just once a week you have just reduced the waste by 52 single use coffee cups in a year.
“The Beach Hut have kindly offered to stock and sell our new Eco Beakers and we are hoping that once we launch this campaign others local shops will help sell the Eco Beaker.
“We would like to thank local Cllr Declan Power and our Mayor of Drogheda Michelle Hall for their support in helping us prompt and launch this campaign.
Eco Beaker for life on the go. Oh Yes! I’m a Keeper
Councillor Declan Power commended the Clogherhead Development Group for creating this innovative Eco friendly idea with their Eco Beaker.
“We have many locals and visitors that drink coffee and other beverages on the beach. Reusing their Eco Beaker, will help reduce beach litter of disposal cups and help maintain the beaches blue flag status” he said.
“That is important to the community and its many users. I also want to commend the Beach Hut as a leading distributor of the Eco Beaker. The Beach Hut provides a great service and important to have them on board with this initiative.”
