  "account": "At CERN, members of the community are being urged to bring their own reusable cups, mugs and bottles when utilizing water fountains and coffee machines. This initiative is part of the organization's ongoing commitment to minimizing waste on-site. It is important to note that while disposable cups were eliminated from water fountains and other facilities several years ago, the Nespresso coffee stations still provide single-use options.\n\nBy using reusable containers, individuals can contribute to reducing the volume of single-use waste generated at CERN. This simple act not only helps the environment but also ensures that restaurant seating remains available during the lunch hours of 12:00 to 14:00. During this time, those wishing to work, study, or hold meetings are encouraged to utilize alternative spaces instead of occupying restaurant seating.",
