Cafe Pineapple, Milborne Port’s newest community enterprise, is helping to create a plastic free village.

Customers committed to a pollution free world will find a vibrant cafe that supports their vision, with compostable, disposable coffee cups, free refills for your water bottle, and a 25p discount for anyone bringing their own coffee cup.

Cafe Pineapple uses paper plates and recyclable cardboard for takeaway items and only sells water in recyclable, glass bottles.

As well as providing a delicious range of food and drink, with daily vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options, Cafe Pineapple has made a significant contribution to helping Milborne Port on its journey towards plastic free community status.

Located in the heart of the village on the site of what was once the Queen’s Head, it’s easy to find Cafe Pineapple on Milborne Port’s main High Street (DT9 5FB). If you can, please support them. With a friendly welcome and a real commitment to a brighter future you won’t regret dropping in.

Yesterday’s (Saturday 6 July, 2019) litter pick was a tremendous success for the community, with over ten bags of plastic waste and general litter removed from the streets of Milborne Port.

Every day eight million pieces of plastic find their way into our oceans and rivers, creating an ecological catastrophe that threatens wildlife along with the clean soil and water we all depend upon for survival.

While individual contributions may seem small in comparison to the scale of the problem, the fact that so many of us are now tackling plastic pollution is a real cause for hope.
