THINK TWICE ABOUT YOUR MORNING COFFEE

Earth Day Tip #2

Earth Day is coming up next month.  The Manchester Sustainability Committee is offering regular everyday tips we all can do to show a little love to Mother Earth.  This week’s tip is ….

Those ubiquitous single use coffee cups look like paper, but in fact they’re lined with polyethylene, a type of non-biodegradable plastic, and can’t be composted or recycled.  In the US it’s estimated that we throw away more than 50 billion plastic-lined paper coffee cups with lids every year.  Bring a reusable thermal steel cup with you when you travel, and ask the server to refill it.  The Earth will thank you and your drink will taste better!
