As the initiator of Coffee To Go Again I’m so delighted that more and more coffeeshops now accept their customer’s own tableware for drinks and also for meals. I also see more and more people who rely on reusable tableware during their lunch break.

I am a teacher and I am also working as a volunteer for the non-profit organization "Mary’s Meals", which provides meals to school children in 19 poor countries.

Even to those of us who have been used to working remotely since before the pandemic, the lockdown has created a big shift in our social lives.
