Good Morning!
Cut down on waste and toxic chemicals by grabbing a reusable mug.
Buying a cup of coffee a day in the disposable containers means you are generating about 22 pounds of waste per year. Plus, those cups take hundreds of years to break down, as they are made from non-renewable petroleum.
Cups made from paper products are easier on the environment, but result in destructive deforestation. Even recycled paper ones require considerable energy to produce and distribute.
The best options are ceramic or glass containers. Plastics can leach out small amounts of potentially toxic chemicals over time. If you are worried about breaking the container, opt for stainless steel.
