I drink take away coffees and quite a few of them, so do my family and friends. We all throw away dozens of paper cups a year. I am trying to reduce my footprint so have purchased some plastic look alike coffee cups. The idea is to use them for your take aways , wash them and re use for ever more. One cup instead of dozens, hopefully. There are lots of designs and variations available, I chose these for the colours. I have seen them with black lids but feel they look like rubber and I just don't want to drink from a something black and rubbery. The baristas at all the local cafes are happy to use them and lots of cafes sell them with their logos. Now I just have to remember to take it with me !!
I won one as a prize so I did not get to choose the colours!

Great idea :-) I'm not a coffee drinker, so I don't really need a "not a coffee cup". But everyone who drinks take-out coffee on a regular basis should make the change that you made. It can add up to a huge difference!
