Keep up the cups!

So this week although we are not perfect we improved significantly... from the poll results we extrapolated that you are much more advanced in your usage of travel mugs than us! Congrats! Felicitations!

We are going to make a conscious effort to remind ourselves and each other to monitor our consumption of paper, plastic, and Styrofoam products. Hopefully eventually this practice will become second nature and be ingrained in our lifestyles without having to think about it!
Thanks for travel-mugging it with us this week.... hoo hahaha..... and now for our next trick.....

Reminder...

So how's everyone doing? Remember No Plastic, No Styrofoam, No Paper... Only travel mugs and bottles (BPA free?!)... We Can do it!

Each year, more than 90% of water bottle end up as garbage... that's 9 out of 10!

30 million discarded plastic bottles each day - & more than 10 billion a year.... UNBELIEVABLE... but true, let's Fight the Footprint!

Sincerely, Heather

25 000,000,000 Styrofoam cups!... ugg

As coffee and tea junkies, we continually find ourselves consuming Styrofoam and plastic cups when going for coffee. We are the first to admit that we are not always ready to hand over our travel mugs to be filled with the deliciously sweet nectar that we find ourselves so addicted to! We calculated the amount of Styrofoam, paper, and plastic cups that we use on average per week, and the shameful number we came up with: at least 20 per week! Yiiiiikes! We are only 2 of the millions of people who pick up coffee-to-go on a daily basis!

Our commitment this week: to carry our travel mugs with us to Starbucks and Timmy’s. We figure it won’t be that difficult, but it will have a HUGE impact in the end. Join us during this experience as we try to improve our lifestyles one step at a time. Fighting our footprint!

Fact: Every year Canadians throw away 25, 000,000,000 styrofoam cups, enough every year to circle the earth 436 times!

Unbelievable! Canada alone! Let’s make a change!
