The Original Reusable Mug
Today is World Refill Day - a global public awareness campaign to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste, keeping our environment, oceans, cities and communities plastic-free for the future.
All our mugs are reusable and plastic-free, but this one in particular highlights the pollution problem by re-imagining Hokusai's iconic woodblock print "Great Wave off Kanagawa" as it might look today... an ocean filled with plastic debris and rubbish.
"Every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you're connected to the sea." - Sylvia Earle

Did you know...
... we have our own public water point, accessible 24 hours a day?! Located on the corner of Jamaica & Hillgrove Streets, there's a sink with soap, and even power points for recharging!
So if you're in need of a refill while wandering through Stokes Croft, you know where to go - and if you're elsewhere in town, then the Refill app can show you where to get your fix of H2O.

TALK CLUB x SCC
Check out our recent commission for Talk Club, a behaviour-changing movement aimed at getting men to talk more openly about their thoughts, feelings, and worries. They want to create as many safe and confidential spaces across the UK where men can meet regularly to talk, and listen to each other, so at this very moment two runners are on their way from the top to the bottom of Wales, taking One Million Steps to raise the funds.
