Take a travel mug to your favorite coffee shop instead of taking their paper cup.
Green Impact: reduce waste of throwing away or recycling the cup
if you recycled the cup, it would still take some energy to complete the recycling. Most energy in the US is not from renewable resources such as wind, solar, & hydropower.
Other Personal Benefit: Many coffee shops will offer a discount for using your own cup & being eco-friendly – be sure to ask for this if it is not advertised!
