Green initiatives
Caring for the environment
A key component of our ethos at the Island Cafe is looking after the environment. We do so in a number of ways from constructing our patio furniture out of recycled wood, to our compost heap, and avoiding single use plastic - our popsicle wrappers, labels, and all of our take out materials are made from compostable materials.
Growto greens
We promote local and green eating. In 2016, Co-Owner Maura McIntyre launched GrowTO Greens, an initiative to see how much kale you can grow in 1/100 acre. Each summer we produce roughly 480 pounds of kale. We donate it to local food banks and community members.
RECYLCED COFFEE GROUNDS
Since January 2023 we have been collecting used coffee grounds from a variety of Toronto cafes. To date we’ve biked 2800 pounds to our gardens. Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, a natural pest deterrent and attract earthworms.
A particular shout out to Moonbeam Coffee Company in Kensington Market for their support of this initiative https://moonbeancoffee.com/
