BRING YOUR OWN CUP!
Eco-Alternatives sound good, but 100% of TRASH is still trash.
TRUE SOLUTION: Wash to Reuse
#1 Bring your own cup.
#2 Ask for a real cup with a real spoon to stir your cream and sugar.
#3 Leave the Straw in it's wrapper.
BUYER BEWARE:
Recycled "plant-based"
cups and liners made from sugars and starches being turned into a polymer to behave like conventional plastic, they actually work!
*And under heat...
Can soften, flake off and shed those microplastics into your drink!
Exactly as conventional plastic does.
Making great choices... Matters MOST!
LEGACY: An existence of ourselves that lives on for others.
How long does YOUR IMPACT last, after each:
450 years Recycled Plastic Bottle (PET)
200 years Plastic Straws
500 years Styrofoam Container
20 years Plastic Shopping Bags
500 years Disposable Diapers
600 years Fishing Line
EVERYONE CAN DO SOMETHING RIGHT TODAY!
WASHING Vs. TOSSING SOLVES SO MUCH! Eliminate MORE trash sent to landfills after each meal.
PET bottle recyclability...
"SOUNDS GOOD" IN THEORY: Creating "new" plastic from what’s already there to reduce toxins and landfills by recycling more
HOWEVER, when 2024 data reflects:
- 79% of plastic waste is being buried or discarded
- Microplastics are found in fresh, Antarctic snow
- 83% of tap water worldwide contaminated with microplastics
