 | Plastic cups are used at an alarming rate -- 500 billion plastic cups are used worldwide each year. The good news is that you don't have to say no to your favorite takeout beverages to minimize your use of plastic! An easy swap you can make is to bring your own cup or container to your restaurant or cafe of choice. As an extra bonus, you'll also be supporting your favorite spot by reducing their expenses for to-go cups. Additionally, you can seek out businesses that offer paper cups and delicious beverages for a win-win! |
