You remember the 3 R's right? Reduce Reuse Recycle? The other day I found myself out and about without my reusable coffee cup. I did have a shiny new gift card for Starbucks though. So we went by and got a couple of drinks. Later after I turned my Doppio into a Mocha Latte. (Yeah I am now one of those people), I felt really bad about throwing the two cups into recycling. I know Starbucks tries hard to make everything recyclable and biodegradable, etc, but REUSE comes before RECYCLE for a good reason. I typed in "how to reuse paper coffee cups" in the ol' google and got this article.

Do any of these things with the cups to make your old pappy or grand nanny proud like you grew up in them there depression days!
I really want to work on reducing my carbon footprint this year, so that I at least break even with all the gas my turbo sucks down. Don't worry some day I want to have a turbo diesel that runs on WVO, some day.
