Green Cone
The simple, natural way to deal with all of your food waste.
Do you want to save the world, or would you rather just drink beer?
Why not do both!
The VUL is excited to renew our partnership with Green Cone! We are promoting the sale of Green Cones within our community (and to the community at large) from August 5 to Sept 2. Partial revenues from every Green Cone sold go toward VUL programs. If your team sells 10 Green Cones by Sept 2nd, you will earn a pony keg of delicious R&B beer! You can pickup your cones from 6:30-7:00pm on September 9th at the Mt. Pleasant Community Centre.
What's a Green Cone?
The Green Cone food waste digester is like a home composter but is much more. It takes all types of food waste - meat, dairy, bones, vegetables - and is virtually maintenance free. You don't need to turn the contents, or empty it more than once every few years. Using solar heat in combination with macrobacteria, it breaks waste down aerobically into nutrient rich water that is absorbed into the soil, and a very small amount of residue.
This partnership is an example of the VUL’s efforts to take a leadership role toward sustainability in the sports community. The Green Cone enables us to take action ourselves for direct environmental benefit. It also provides the VUL with additional revenue, allowing the Society to continue to provide our numerous programs at very reasonable prices.
Order your Green Cone now for the discounted rate of $140.
