Earth Day, Every Day - Tip # 26 - Invest in a Creamic or Thermal Mug

Having coffee or tea at the office? Or stopping at the deli or coffee shop? Buy your own mug or thermal cup and remember to use it.

My husbands company went so far as to give every employee their own ceramic mug. A single investment that saves hundreds of trees, and after the short term cost to buy everyone a mug, a long term monetary savings for the company that will last years.

At my favorite coffee spot the owner truly appreciates that I bring my own thermal mug... it's one less cup and lid he needs to buy.

Above all, avoid styrofoam cups which will sit in land fills for generations to come.
