In October 2017 local council candidate for Portswood Katherine Barbour conducted a survey and asked all the coffee shops along Portswood high-street whether they accept thermos cups and whether there is any discount for this.
The purpose of the survey was to gain a better understanding of what exactly coffee shops along Portswood high-street are doing to tackle the endemic problem that ‘almost 5,000 [unrecyclable coffee cups] a minute are getting dumped in our environment.’ Southampton Green Party will use the results (tabled below) as an indication of how to move their campaign against unrecyclable coffee cups forward and which shops should be exposed as being damaging to the environment.
