Recent grad makes the world a better place, one cup at a time
One day last year, Ray Fraser, Richmond College '11, was sitting in a coffee shop when he noticed that the trash can near him was quickly filling up with the one-use coffee sleeves meant to keep customer's hands from getting burned. At first, Fraser didn't make much of it, especially once the barista initially came over to empty the overflowing can. Not long after, the trash can was filled again with the same one-use coffee sleeves. This time, when the barista came back to empty the can, Fraser asked how many of these paper sleeves were thrown out each day. He was blown away by the response--roughly 400 each day--and he decided to do something about it.
