saving the earth one cup at a time
so, i am trying to be more green. now, whether you believe in global warming or not, you have noticed the high prices in gas. that gas price causes lots of things to increase in price.
one way of helping the earth and the rising cost of things from the gas economy we live in is easy to do. i have noticed the amount of people who still go to starbucks, who still make it a point to sit down for twenty or thirty minutes. i am not going to tell you to stop, by all means, keep frequenting starbucks, but instead of getting your drink in a paper to-go cup, ask for it in a "for here" cup. that is what they call it, "for here". novel, no?
i do this every time i am going to cop a squat there. some of the places (i think all are supposed to do it) also give you a discount for using an in-house cup (which is cheaper for them too). i have decided to commit myself to carrying a travel mug to the store for those to-go orders. they are more than willing to make the drink in the mug.
one cup at a time. by the way, far more civilized to drink out of a real cup...

We don't usually patronize Charbucks, except when we are at Barnes & Noble, but when we go to Common Grounds, Coffee Times, or Third Street Stuff, we always say 'for here'.
At Common Grounds, the mugs are HUGE. They hold far more than a take away cup.
