ROME -- A café in Venafro, Molise, has launched an initiative where customers can buy a coffee for 50 cents, as long as they bring their own cup.

 The owners of the shop, Ida Di Ciacco and Moreno Spada, said the scheme was to help the environment and to also help people cut down on costs.

 The “green coffee” initiative means the café avoids “long, polluting high-temperature dishwasher cycles” and customers are provided with a cheaper, more sustainable way to enjoy their coffee.
