For most of us, treating ourselves to a nice morning takeaway from our local coffee shop has become a way of life. But what’s also become a way of life is the almost 3 million takeaway coffee cups we throw out in Australia every single day… Yeek! How many football fields would that fill? I’m not sure. Maths isn’t my forte. But what I do know is that you can help change this statistic by investing in a keeper! And to tie in with our current Mint Meter review of reusable coffee cups, we’ve got a bunch of these pretty pals to give away to four lucky readers. All you need to do is comment below telling us what you’re enjoying most about Issue 10. Competition closes in a week (that’s next Wednesday 29th June at noon!) so race out and grab yourself a coffee, I mean copy, now!
