CORN MUG SPONSORSHIP

"As an organization of students, we are committed to offering

our resources and space to positively impact our community.

In our business practices we seek to provide quality coffee

beverages and food, using products that come from sustainable

and socially responsible sources whenever possible" - a portion

of the Motley Coffeehouse mission statement

In response to this element of our mission statement, an

initiative to further this goal was enacted in Fall 2009;

We now charge $1 for disposable paper "to-go" cups when

you order a Motley Drink. The Motley hopes to encourage the

entire community to support this policy that has the potential

to decrease our waste output by 6,600 pounds of waste annually

(the amount of to-go cups purchased on average per year). Although

sustainability can be costly, one of the ways in which the Motley can

be of service is to increase accessibility for all. We have increased

accessibility in two ways: we have doubled the number of available

"for-here" mugs at the Motley and/or you can fill out this simple form

and in return, receive a free Motley corn-plastic mug. This way,

whether you choose to stay and enjoy your coffee in-house or need

it fast while you're on the go, you will be able to save money

and the earth!

In return for the free mug, the Motley would like you to answer a

few questions about how the Motley can better serve your community.

Please take your time to provide thorough and thoughtful answers, as

the more detail you provide, the easier it is for us to implement

change! Click below for the link to the questions and you will get

your corn mug in 1,2,3.
