K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing Keurig coffee pod system.

Recently I came across this article on The Green Programmer website by Jason Savard. On the main page, I noticed a picture of "Coffee Pods environmental disaster". Interesting enough, I decided to follow the link attached to the picture and WoW! Who knew that the K-Cup creator would not inspire people to use his creation. 

I have been using Keurig K-Cups since 2015, and I personally enjoy a quick cup of coffee with no mess, no fuss ordeal. To each their own right?

The man who invented the K-Cup coffee pod 20 years ago says he wishes he'd never done so, and doesn't understand the runaway popularity of single-serve coffee machines in our homes.

Kill the K-Cup video aims to show the environmental impact of coffee pods.
Green Mountain says it sold more than 30 billion K-Cups between January and September 2014.

A satirical video produced by a Halifax production studio is hoping to shed light on the environmental impact of using disposable coffee pods.

The short video is shot in a mock-horror, found footage style — similar to the movie Cloverfield. The video follows a group of people as they run from a monster and a series of alien invaders made of disposable coffee cups set to destroy the city.

Bumper Bros. Auto Group (Carp)

On Aug. 12, 2025, my mother brought her car to  "Bumper Bros." for a repair. Denis was the first person to assess the damage on the car. He estimated the damages and then he taped the bumper in place, to make it more presentable and safe to drive. Tony ordered a new "Front Lower Valance Panel" for the bumper and then he made an appointment to have the car fixed on Aug 15. The people working at the shop were very friendly, welcoming, polite and professional on the job. The mechanics know what they are doing! I would recommend their services to anyone that needs work done. We feel that they are very trustworthy.  When the repairs on the car were completed, we were very pleased with the job well done. Thanks again Tony, Denis & the group for doing a great job!   Reviewed on Google Maps ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐

"Twisters (2024) is a very good remake of the original film." - Ottawa Public Library Review ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ Twisters (2024) is a very good remake of the original film. I rather enjoyed this version. It was what I would have expected for a movie refresh - action and good graphics. This movie is worth watching. Go with an open mind before watching this version of Twisters. You will be surprised how well this movie turns out. I have seen Twister (1996) several times. After watching this newer version, I am impressed. Probably because of today's technology that is being used in the film. Reviewed on IMDB.com  ⭐ 7/10 (September 3, 2025)
