To pod, or not to pod, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of commonplace normality or to take arms against a sea of plastics. Ah, the eternal struggle in the world of coffee.
We heard you, our beloved O COFFEE community, when some of you asked for pods. Intrigued, we delved into the realm of coffee podding, but our journey uncovered a tale of environmental dilemmas.
**The Podding Predicament:**
As we explored the podding possibilities, a crucial question emerged – what happens to the pods after use? We embarked on a quest, reaching out to municipal offices from Victoria to St. John's. The revelation shook us to our eco-friendly core – a staggering 95% of used coffee pods, including compostable ones, ended up in landfills.
We even reached out to the manufacturers of compostable pods to understand why these seemingly green options met the same fate. The answer lay in the lack of municipal infrastructure for composting, and manufacturers primarily producing industrial compostable pods rather than home compostable ones.
**A Conscience Call:**
This revelation didn't sit well with our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Upcycling fruits and vegetables is one thing, but contributing to overflowing landfills with coffee pods? That's a different story.
So, what's the verdict?
