Scourge of the Forest: Disposable Coffee Cups

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Matt Embrey .

Disposable coffee cups are responsible for the deaths of over 6.5 million trees each year! In 2006 it is estimated that 16 billion of these beasts found their way into the trash creating over 250 million pounds of solid waste. No need to fear, these little short lived monsters can easily be stopped by the use of a simple household item… a REUSABLE coffee mug.
