It's a Wrap: The "Just Bring It" Campaign comes to an end!
Over the course of three months, the "Just bring It" campaign has empowered residents, businesses, and visitors to sip sustainably—diverting thousands of disposable coffee cups from the landfill and helping normalize the habit of bringing reusable cups.
Thank you to the 37 local coffee shop locations, partner organizations, and community leaders who helped make the campaign a successful example of reuse strategies at the local level!
​
Over 30 local coffee shops and UCSC locations want to reward you for bringing your own reusable cup!​

Why the campaign?
We estimate that 10,000+ single-use coffee cups go to the landfill daily in Santa Cruz. Many cups end up littering our beautiful environment.
There's an easy solution: bring your own cup. This simple new habit not only prevents waste, it also saves you money, keeps your coffee warmer longer, and tasting better!
