tumble & tea café Goes Green!

Gandhi stated, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

It is widely accepted and current research states that the continued misuse of our natural resources is increasingly deteriorating our planet. In order to stop this deterioration, it is important for us to change our consumption habits. tumble & tea café knows the importance of Go Green which is why we have implemented some environmentally conscience measures to do our part to help Mother Nature.

tumble & tea café has reduced its use of paper in many ways. We have switched from a paper pay roll system to electronic transfers. We do not advertise in the local yellow pages and we also recommend that our franchisees don’t either. We preach and teach e-mail lists instead of typical mass mailings and we try to streamline our paper use as much as possible.

tumble & tea cafés are equipped with energy efficient appliances and we purchase the most energy efficient lighting fixtures possible. Each location is active in recycling and where permitted, is encouraged to compost as well. At the corporate office we recycle and use electronic means of communication over paper whenever possible. We also strive to purchase all play structures made out of recycled materials.

All of us at tumble & tea café believe that we are capable of impacting the world and our environment in a positive way. If we love kids so much that we build tumble & tea cafes, we must also love the planet our children will inherit.
