For real. But, how do we make it something easy to do? How can we get to the point where I’m already anticipating the process of sending my coffee to an algal refinery when I’m buying it? Better yet - how do we get to we aren’t even thinking about that and it is as unthought of in our daily lives as filling a reusable BPAA free water bottle at a fountain?

We could just make our trash pickup more like Japan and presort our garbage for pickup on different days, or at least make it accessible for coffee businesses to dispose of their grounds through a service. Communities could organize to have collection points for niche waste. The number of options is tremendous.
