GRS Student Feature: BYO App reduces waste at local cafés

June 25, 2021

On June 23rd, the National Observer featured the efforts by current GRSer Angelica Tso and Simon Fraser University student Priscilla Lam to create app, BYO.

Current GRSer Angelica Tso and Simon Fraser University student Priscilla Lam have created an app called BYO to encourage people to bring their own mugs to local cafés. BYO also works with coffee shops to plant trees with the money that would otherwise be used to purchase single-use cups.
