Tim Hortons not so green.
Just the other day I was in a Tim Hortons store and orderd a coffee which comes in a porcelein mug, but then on my tray there was also a paper wax cup so I can roll up the rim.To me this is a huge waste. When you order a meal from Timmies you only get 1 little napkin. I think a napkin would break down quicker than those wax paper cups that are being tossed. And then Timmies has a huge blurb on their website that they are environmently freindly I just don't get it How can you be environmently freindlyand big garbadge producers at the same time. Working together for a better environment Making a true difference Waste Diversion Tim Hortons is working hard to recycle as much of its packaging as possible. There are hundreds of stores across Canada that offer recycling and/or compost programs which include paper packaging and food waste. We continue to work with industry experts to increase the where and what we can recycle. Waste Reduction While recycling and composting are great solutions, eliminating packaging in the first place is even better. Tim Hortons promotes waste reduction through various in-store programs. We continue to remind our customers about our china mug option for dining in-store and our discount for travel mug users. Tackling Litter Together Litter affects us all and Tim Hortons continues to create awareness about the environment, litter, and the importance of keeping our neighbourhoods clean. Each year, Tim Hortons store owners continue to demonstrate community leadership through sponsoring and supporting clean up and tree planting events across Canada. Working together to keep our communities clean makes a true difference.
