GREEN TIP: A Cup a Day

Have a regular coffee joint you hit up? A little Mexican restaurant around the corner from your house that you get horchatas from every night? Well, being green sometimes just requires that tiny extra step. Instead of using up another paper, plastic, or styrofoam cup, just bring in a travel mug. Yes, you'll have to add it to your daily dishes, but over the course of a year you'll be saving HUNDREDS of cups that would just turn up in the ever growing city dumps.

Being green can be easy. So, the next time you are feeling super lazy, just think of those cute polar bears that are now becoming cannibals because the icebergs they use for hunting are melting away due to global warming. Global warming caused in part by factories that make those styrofoam cups. Saving a cup a day is a small step, but it DOES make a difference. Environmentalism is not just for hippies, it is for everyone that enjoys living.
