But remember, we also all have the option of taking our own cup or mug to our favourite 'to go' cafe. If keeping all those cups out of landfill isn't reason enough for you, perhaps you'll be swayed by the small discount many cafes give to customers who bring their own cup. Or the best reason: coffee ALWAYS tastes better from a 'real' cup. So grab your favourite cup, whether it's a purpose-made travel mug, your grandmothers finest china or the Bugs Bunny one with rabbit ears for a handle, and sip your Java from that instead.
