Be wary of AstroTurf.

Zero claim to be an environmental entity, zero waste, zero carbon.

Zero are in receipt of dirty money from Nestlé.

Nestlé is one of the worst corporations in the world for human rights abuses and trashing the planet. No reputable environmental group would touch with a bargepole let alone take money from Nestlé.

Nestlé was still operating in Russia when other corporations had pulled out.

Nespresso is vile undrinkable coffee. Nespresso pods are a composite structure, nigh impossible to recycle, cannot be put in the domestic recycling waste stream.

Always buy coffee from reputable roasteries that put specialty coffee in compostable or aluminium pods.

To brew use

- Opal One
- Morning machine

Deathly silence from Zero that Guildford Borough Council in their Bank Holiday promo video promoting plastic takeaway cups.

Zero sit on the board of Experience Guildford, the local BID. They claim to be acting for local businesses, they do not. Experience Guildford are killing struggling local businesses with the BID Levy.

Zero are in direct competition with a local zero waste shop.

What next, dirty money from Shell or BP, or maybe BAE Systems?

Zero are fund raising. Do not give them a penny. You know it makes sense.

Update: When a member of the public asked of Zero why they were taking money from Nestlé, they were met with a point blank denial.
