Responsible Cafes is a growing community driven organisation that connects cafes with conscious consumers, builds community and reduces waste by encouraging cafes to take action and do their best reducing, reusing and recycling. Responsible Cafes was founded in 2013 from the idea to offer people a discount if they BYO cups. The program grew organically at first through word of mouth, until the ABC War On Waste was broadcasted in 2017 and featured the initiative. Overnight the website went bonkers and we received 1000’s of emails and messages of support from CEO’s to grandparents and school kids wanting to know more about how they can minimise their impact. We are now one of Australia’s most innovative, trusted, & fastest-growing programs actively engaging cafes, councils and the community to improve sustainability.

Benefits of volunteering with your organisation: we love supporting cafes and as part of this volunteering opportunity, if the cafe vibe is your kind of work environment, we'll refund your coffees!

**Impact: **Our actions have the opportunity to support over 5,000 Australian cafes and 7,400+ followers, meaning more cafes educated on sustainability, fostering more sustainable practice and ignite behaviour change to generate less waste. Each year we help cafes divert over 60M single use plastic coffee cups from landfill and the environment by promoting reusables.
