This week we spotlight sustainable delivery service The Rounds. | |
Making The Rounds Work For You
Bothered by the amount of the simple, sheer physical waste in your life? Who isn’t?
Well, local delivery outfit The Rounds is working to do something about it.
The Rounds is in fact built on the “milkman” model in that it delivers products to the customer’s door in reusable packaging (think milk bottles). Then, when the user is done, it retrieves the packaging, rinses and repeats. No waste!
Yes, the idea is to lower the amount of waste from individual, disposable orders. The Rounds delivers everyday essentials like oats, nuts, toilet paper, soaps, paper products, cleaning products etc. In short: it’s green, it’s sustainable, and it’s cheaper.
Intrigued? Thought so. For more info and to get started, please visit The Rounds.
And know this: Use the code THEROUNDSCCRA in the promo field at signup and your first month of membership will be free -- plus a $15 product credit.
