THE FACTS
Today, there is no way to compost or recycle the billions of disposable coffee cups used in the U.S. each year. That's because cups are lined with a petroleum-based plastic (polyethylene) to prevent leaking.
Most disposable coffee cups have a life of only 5 minutes before they are tossed in the trash. In a single week, the average coffee joint goes through 4,000 cups and plastic lids!
Every year, Americans drink more than 100 billion cups of coffee. Of those, 14.4 billion are served in disposable paper cups— enough to wrap the earth 55 times if placed end-to-end!
TOOLS
Sign up for the challenge and use a travel mug. Often made of stainless steel, these beauties will keep your coffee or tea hotter longer than a disposable cup.
Suggest that stores offer a discount when you bring your own. Patron stores that already offer this. If you buy coffee five days a week, and use your travel mug, you save 260 cups per year!

The very crux of your writing while sounding reasonable
initially, did not settle very
well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you managed to make me a
believer but only for a while. I still have a
problem with your leaps in logic and you might do well to fill
in all those breaks. If you actually can
accomplish that, I could undoubtedly be amazed.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of
text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

I wanted to create you one very little observation just
to give thanks again for
all the beautiful tips
you've shown on this site. It was
certainly wonderfully open-handed of you to present publicly
precisely what a few people could
possibly have marketed for an e-book to end up making some money for
their own end, most importantly given that you might well have
tried it if you ever desired. These
principles
likewise served as a good way to understand that most
people
have the identical dream really like my very own to find
out a great deal more with regard to this matter.
I'm certain there are millions of more fun opportunities in the future for
people who discover your website.

I'm doing a project about spectators and am trying to find peoples opinions and feelings from the olympics (whether watching it in beijing or on the tv).. . I searched technorati for "olympics" and there are sooo many results that are much more recent and come up first, but aren't what I'm looking for, I can't work out how to filter out ones from the games.... . Anyone know how I can do a search for blog posts tagged olympics in say the month of August..
