Bring your own cup!

The Conscious Cup Campaign encourages individuals to switch to reusable cups. We dispose of over 22,000 takeaway cups and lids each hour in Ireland, that’s a phenomenal amount of waste of our planet’s resources for something we use in a few minutes. The Conscious Cup Campaign map and promote Conscious Cafes across Ireland who offer a discount/incentive when you use your reusable cup.

All Together Now are delighted to be part of this initiative where the on-site Conscious Cafes will be rewarding festival-goers for when they choose to reuse their cup.
