Every thirty minutes in Australia alone, fifty thousand coffee cups are thrown away, with up to one BILLION every year! And what's more, is that coffee cups CAN'T be recycled, so some of them contaminate our recycling plants. This is because coffee cups have chemicals on them to stop them from getting soggy, so these chemicals can actually damage the environment.
An easy solution is to #BYOCoffeeCup! If every person brought their own coffee cup, it would be one BILLION fewer coffee cups that end up in landfills! And what's more, is that some small coffee stores offer a 50 cent discount when you bring your own coffee cup.
Basically, you get a 50c discount AND save the environment.
Win-win!
