 A friend of mine is really into the recycling thing.

 He tells me that every little bit helps....And that if everyone just recycles a few things they use everyday it would make a large impact on are environment....

 I will be the first to admit I do not do enough to help I can do more and should....So with that said I was doing some research about what I could do to help. My first thought was (as I drink my coffee) we get coffee from the chain coffee shops a lot.

 And they have Recycle on their cups but guess what their cups are not recyclable.....why because they are coated in plastic....So what to do about that.....Well I started thinking again!!!!..... yes I did. If we all take are own coffee cup in to the chain coffee stores or mini stores that sell coffee to go. We can all have a hand in saving are environment.

 So with that said We have almost 135,000  here say 35,000 log on a day if we can get 35,000 people to take their own travel mug to get coffee on the go at say conservatively 3 times a week that's 105000 plastic coated cups a week times 1 year we could save 5,460,000 cups in a year that is a lot of  nonrecyclable cups, filling are land fills and littering are towns....

 So if you would like to help go ahead and reblog this so we can get the word out.....and don't forget next time you get coffee from the coffee shop take your own cup with you....buy the way with your own cup most chain coffee shops give 10% discount on the coffee......you can send the 10% you saved in the year to me if you don't need or want it.......peace zane

disclaimer.....not all big chains use plastic coated cups.. but it does fill the land fill if you don't recycle it...

Zane, It never hurts to conserve and I think that's a brilliant idea. My sisters college roommate would use just one tea bag a day and by the end of the day she was drinking tinted hot water. But she did conserve and felt very good about herself and her world...

My wife always has to have water everywhere we go and she used to buy bottled water. Now I have gotten her some good water bottles so she can just refill them.

Hey Bro, the blog is a timely one. I am slowly getting my office to be greener. It's a change for them but everyone here is trying! The amount of paper we waste is amazing to me and I'm sure it's the same for you. I've put boxes next to the garbages in our copy room and back room. It's easy for them to toss their paper into the box and then when it fills up I run it to the recycling location. My broker even got us Culligan Water dispenser for the office which has really reduced the number of plastic bottles that we went through. Keep up the good work! ~S
