It’s not always easy to go plastic-free—especially on an island where recycling systems are limited and most take-away food comes in Styrofoam.

But there is one delicious exception…
Drinking fresh, local coconut water—almost entirely plastic-free!

In Tobago, Prof. Dr. Beate Ratter reminds us that small choices matter. Supporting local, low-waste options like this is a refreshing way to reduce our plastic footprint—even when the infrastructure makes it challenging.

Every action counts. Every coconut too.
