One of our members was visiting her niece at the Montana State University Campus. They are well ahead of the game there! They have a Bring Your Own Mug policy and a mug library to help you out if you forgot. We don't need paper cups. More and more business's are stepping up to show us this.

We need the 'big guys' to take away the option for us to make the wrong choice. Small acts help, but what we really need is for single-use items to be unavailable to us.

Air travel leaves quite the carbon footprint, so when you have to take a flight do what you can to reduce your footprint in other areas. Bring an empty to-go mug and water bottle through security and fill em up once you're through!!

If you guys ever need a logo design talk to the most talented and lovely Margo Petroff !!

Margo didn't hesitate when it came to designing our logo for Re:fill. She incorporated the drawing one of our members had done and we absolutely love it!

Don't forget to connect to our natural world. It's so easy these days to spend your free moments staring into your phone or binge watching Netflix. Social media platforms allow us to connect and inspire, but a break is always good for the soul.

When you walk past a tree today say a little thank you. Gratitude is grounding.

Thanks for a great interview RMO! We appreciate you helping us get the word out about our initiative. Aislin’s wish for 2020 is that we all work to go back to the first R’s-Reduce and refuse. How many single use coffee cups can we refuse in 2020 in exchange for reusable cups? We look forward to hearing your number in December.

Bagel Co has made it easy for you to Re:fill! No deposit needed, just pick a travel mug from their 'library' and away you go. Looking all conscientious and cool. Not to mention you can save 25 to 50 cents for using one as well!

Our community is making some awesome changes. Be part of their movement. The businesses can only do so much. They are relying on us to change our habits - the alternatives are out there.

Tag us if you are using one of their mugs! We would love to share what a wonderful human you are!

Beamer's Coffee Bar has been a local hot spot for almost 26 years! They have some amazing travel mugs that will keep your coffee hot for hours whether your heading out for a back country ski or simply heading to work!

We all know a hot sip of coffee mid-work day is sometimes the only thing keeping us from crossing over from sane to insane! Don't let a paper cup be the reason you suddenly flip a switch in front of your colleagues! Keep it hot so you can keep your cool!

Beamers also offers great to-stay mugs! Sit down and take a breather, Re:fill.
