eco tip of the day

reuse


buying coffee that's sold in disposable cups pains me. every morning. but the kind of coffee i really enjoy isn't easily made at home... and so at least i'm comforted by the fact that the plastic cups are recyclable. and i ALWAYS recycle them (even if it means taking it home with me)

so now that winter's almost upon us, and i've been getting a hot latte in the morning. the paper cup doesn't sport the recycling arrow (though I'm wondering if it could be burnt).... nonetheless it occured to me last week that i could
reuse the cardboard hand warmer
  • There's no reason you can't use this more than once
  • I used mine 3 times last week
  • Just slip it into the pocket of your winter coat (you can make room, they are not that big)
  • The Dunkin Donuts employees will likely smile at you and thank you for using it! Mine said "I wish everyone would do this" so let's start. What do you think? So easy to do. Use a little less, throw away a little less.
  • Every bit counts, and you know it :)
