It is really sad that you all being small business are supporting single use waste. Upon talking to your customers as to why they are sitting in the coffee shop and drinking out of to go cup, their first response was why are you not telling the folks behind the counter. They have it to me.

Bowen is super friendly and a great local source for ideas of what to do in the area as well. Thanks for the...
