You know that disposable cup you grabbed at work this morning? It really only has one other purpose besides holding your drink for a couple minutes or hours - to end up in the trash.
Make the change to bring a reusable cup or mug with you whenever you order coffee/tea or fill up on other beverages.
Get this crazy fact - According to papercalculator.org, Americans alone will consume an estimated 23 billion paper coffee cups in 2010. That translates to 14 million tons of wood or 9.4 million trees. Yikes!
Good information. I try to be more aware of this fact by reusing as much as I can. I also teach my children to try not to be wasteful. Thanks for sharing and contributing to my knowledge :)
