Energy Rethinking - use less save more

This competition has now ended
 

This holiday season invite your friends around to enjoy a cup of coffee and then sit back and watch your garden blossom.  (Well, as it’s winter, maybe your houseplants just for now).  We are giving way an eco-friendly hamper from Greencup, a special prize normally only offered to businesses. Greencup provides high quality, fair-trade coffee to businesses and then collects the coffee grounds, in their very own eco-friendly electric vehicle, to recycle them into eco-friendly garden fertiliser. Enjoy your morning coffee knowing that the grounds came from an ethical source and are going to good use.

Read all about Greencup, then enter our competition to win a holiday hamper filled with a cafetiere, 4 cups, two kinds of coffee and a fertilizer tub to get you started saving your coffee grounds for your happy plants.
