Plastic Free Challenge - Day 20

-
Today's challenge is to "drink coffee at the cafe if you forget your reusable cup".


Not only will this action reduce single-use plastic (plastic lid for takeout coffee), it will also provide you a few moments of mindfulness while you sit and drink your coffee. Here are a couple of articles to help you achieve a mindful moment over coffee.

I compiled a list of some local coffee shops with a cozy atmosphere:

Juice Co
Receiver Coffee
Kettle Black
Beanz Espresso
Timothy's Cafe

Do you ever notice the pile of trash that is left over when you're done with your take-out meal? Our "throw-away" lifestyle has created tons of waste from single-use products that we use for just a few minutes. The environmental impacts on the planet from all the single-use items are enormous.
