I decided to count how many plastic cups of coffee I waste a
week. I am used to buying coffee every morning before going to work or class. A
week I waste at least five but sometime when I need more caffeine I can use up
to eight or nine! Let us suppose than in a month I use the minimum of plastic
cups, so five times four, that is 20plastic cups a month, therefore, 240plastic
cups a year. 240 plastic cups a year is the bare minimum, I am not even taking
into consideration extra cups of coffee or the plastics cups I use for other
beverages. In order to take action and reduce this amount I bought myself a
traveler coffee mug. I carry around my coffee mug all day every day; this has
helped reduce not only the amount of coffee plastic cups but also water
bottles. I know rinse my coffee mug and through ought the day to fill it out
with water. It is more convenient than carrying a coffee mug and a water
bottle. With this simple change in my day routine I have exponentially reduced
the amount of plastic I waste a year.
