Did you bring your own reusable travel cup the last time you bought a cup of coffee?
If not, here are a few reasons why you should:
• Consider how many paper or styrofoam cups are used daily that end up in landfill.
• Switching to a reusable cup is an easy eco-habit you can introduce into your lifestyle.
• Coffee shops are resisting making any changes including switching to compostable cups as an eco-friendlier option to styrofoam or paper. Bringing your own cup may help to convince them that their customers are eco-minded.
• The best way to reduce waste is to eliminate it from the source.
If you do decide to switch to reusable cups make sure that you get a double walled one to keep your beverage insulated. Also, choose one that is stainless steel on the inside and make sure it fits in your car's cup holder.
Coffee shops usually have a selection of cups to choose from. You can also order a great Thermos
