Our Planet - Earth

We live, breathe and populate on it, yet most of us don’t know how to look after it. Planet Earth is ours, and we need to open our eyes to some of the dangers we will be facing if we don’t take action now.

Disposable water bottles are clogging up our oceans. The bottles take 1000 years to completely decompose, and in that time, the bottle tops float and the empty bottles sink, over time breaking in to parts that are accidentally ingested by the wildlife and fed to the young fish.

Disposable water bottles are filling up our landfills. Only about 20% of bottles are recycled, meaning that the staggering figure of more than 220 million bottles have been sitting in our garbage for years, slowly growing each day. The problem already considered almost too bad to be cleaned up, and as a result, people don’t think they can do anything about it... but you can! Make the switch to Cheeki Bottles and you'll save our planet from an early destruction.

Disposable coffee cups are manufactured with a plastic lining, meaning they cannot be recycled. A 3-Cup Coffee Habit a day results in a-thousand-cup Landfill Mountain a year. Make a difference to your habit and ask the barista to make the coffee in your reusable Cheeki mug, you’ll save more than 10 million trees every year.
