Disposable Coffee Mugs Questions
Can starbucks give some rewards to those who bring their own mug when buying coffee?
At least some sort of point system then a reward if you continue bringing your own mug, this will really support the drive for saving the environment. How much is the cost of the disposable cups, they use paper board also around the cup, I think that costs so much and its not environment friendly.
I think they give you a little discount if you bring your own coffee cup.
Environmentalists Endorse Travel Mugs
While the US is in the process of embracing reusable items to reduce their collective environmental impact, Canadian environmentalist have come saying they need to do the same. Canada is traditionally more receptive to practices of recycling and reducing environmental impact, but has highlighted a serious problem in their country when it comes to disposable coffee cups. Canadian environmentalists released a report on the growing trend of disposable coffee cups crowding landfills. According to the report 1.6 Billion takeout coffee cups end up in landfills each year. The problem with disposable coffee cups in the US is even more dramatic and has less of a push for reform, disposable cups in general clog US landfills with a projected 23 billion cups in 2010.
The reason disposable cups are not recyclable like many other paper products are because of the waxy liners that makes the cups leak resistant and provides more insulation. Recyclable cups are becoming more prevalent but the best possible answer to disposable coffee cup woes are travel mugs. Travel mugs are reusable portable coffee containers that provide greater insulation than disposable coffee cups and can save money and the environment which is invaluable. Canadian environmentalists are doing everything it can to raise awareness from video competitions to supporting companies that create incentives for green coffee containers like travel mugs.
While companies are stepping forward to offer assistance in the reduction of these products, consumers have been targeted by environmentalists as being the main problem. A common response from consumers on why they do not use travel mugs as often is that they often forget to bring them. Canadian environmentalists have stated they believe the problem of overusing disposable cups can go away with the introduction of new habits which include bringing travel mugs to work on a daily basis.
While disposable cups remain a huge problem in general when it comes to waste piling up in landfills, disposable coffee cups are particularly menacing to the environment. Paper coffee cups that are designed for travel purposes often come with non-recyclable plastic lids. These plastic lids mixed with waxy liners in the paper cups make the entire product non-recyclable. A less common option is Styrofoam which is substantially worse since they are made out of an extremely hazardous material for the environment. Recyclable paper cups is a good solution for these problems, but reusable travel mugs are the best possible solution for the safety of the environment.
