10/27 Paper Cups

Talk about paper cups we use.

We use so many paper cups in our lives. Tons of people get their drinks to go at coffee places. When they do that, they almost always use paper cups, However, disposable cups are not eco-friendly. Thousands and thousands of trees are cut every year just to make these cups. That's why we should try to use less of them. A good way to use less paper cups is to use a tumbler or a thermos when you get a drink. Coffee places offer discounts for customers who bring in their own cups like this. We see many public campaigns to encourage people to use less paper cups.
