Gettysburg Rising’s Rise Above Plastic campaign recognizes Waldo’s and Company for their efforts to reduce Single Use Plastic and provide a more environmentally sustainable beverage experience.
Waldo’s mission is “to educate and benefit the Gettysburg community through the arts while advocating for local artists and providing a substance-free, creative environment.”
Located at 17 Lincoln Square basement, the Waldo’s and Company coffee bar has eliminated plastic straws and made agave straws available upon patrons’ request. Waldo’s uses paper shopping bags, compostable cups, wooden stir sticks and bamboo to-go spoons. Gettysburg Rising commends Waldo’s for their efforts to “rise above plastic” by taking these practical steps to reduce patron’s exposure to single-use plastic and provide a more healthful and sustainable beverage experience. We encourage folks to visit Waldo’s and thank them for their commitment to sustainability, as well as to the arts!
