Not a Giant Leap, But a Nice Step

I'll be the first to admit that transitioning to a more eco-friendly lifestyle is a slow process for me. Of course, I always recycle, don't use unnecessary electricity and reuse or recycle any plastic bags that find their way to me. However, I'm definitely not ready to even consider letting my powerful sports car go, but I suppose one step at a time. That's where this comes in. Yesterday I made a teensy bit more progress. I was buying a bridal shower gift at Bed Bath & Beyond when I walked past these awesome cups by Copco. I own their hot beverage reusable cups, but since I'm not a coffee drinker, it rarely gets used. These are perfect because everyday my husband takes iced tea to work (Paradise Tropical passion fruit iced tea that we brew at home) and only a few weeks ago he asked me to order him a case of plastic cups like they have at Dunkin Donuts. I'm so glad I didn't get around to it because this cup eliminates so much un-needed plastic and is still exactly what he wanted. It's reusable, sturdy, has a simple modern design without a logo and cost only $7.99 We grabbed 2 and used a $5 off coupon making them $10.98. Score!
