A genuinely sound company and excellent coffee too. Support them if you can. #speirgorm
Imbibe Coffee RoastersEthical or supposedly ethical businesses can seem complicated or short on detail when you scratch the surface of promises. What we do is really simple.

You see everything is connected. The marine heatwaves off the coasts of Europe make heatwaves on land more intense, which in turn dries out vegetation, which then creates perfect fire weather conditions. Brought to you by the world's refusal to drastically reduce the burning of fossil fuels.

Golf courses take up valuable green space on and around urban areas. They offer poor biodiversity value, use plenty of herbicides and pesticides, have poor water retention (the greens are all super free draining) and are used by a select few compared to an urban park open to the public.
Son of the WolfApparently golf courses can use between 100,000 and 500,000 litres of water a day (double that in a heatwave) and are exempt from the national hosepipe ban. Nice to see another example of who and what this government prioritises. #speirghorm
