By that we mean the disposable throw-away cups- the type where you drink a coffee then throw the cup away. This can produce an extortianate amount of waste as hundreds of cups can be thrown out every day. The simple solution is bring your own cup! If you have a vending machine, most will allow you to put your own cup when the drink is dispensed so the plastic cup won't appear. You'll get a bigger hot drink, and a nicer looking mug.
There are certain reusable cups you can buy now and a few businesses will let you fill up free or at least at a discounted price if you bring your own!
ReplyDeleteI have done this with my water all year, by bringing a water bottle to work each day. I used to buy cases of water and throw away the plastic everyday. Now I use a reusable water bottle!
ReplyDeleteI always use my trusty reusable plastic cup. Well I have like 100, I seem to collect them O.o
