Put a Cork In It
Have you noticed all of the plastic stoppers and aluminum screw-top closures creeping into the wine aisle? These artificial stoppers use materials that consume fossil fuels and take much more energy to produce than the corks they are replacing. Unlike sythentic counterparts, cork is an all-natural sustainable product and we need it back in those wine bottles, please.
100% Cork is demanding just that. They are pioneering efforts to raise awareness for cork and demand wineries and retailers to stop using artificial stoppers. The benefits of cork are widespread: it is a biodegradable and renewable resource that is sustainably harvested without cutting down a single tree. The use of cork preserves the livelihoods of the farmers who harvest the forests, and the cork trees themselves promote biodiversity in their habitat.So, next time you are in the wine aisle, bypass the artificial stoppers for the real deal and drink a toast to the Earth. It is a simple step that makes a significant impact. :)Cork Trees are gently harvested to generate regrowth.
Plastic Stoppers are manufactured to generate landfills. - 100% Cork
