When you order a hot drink in a coffee shop, most of the time it will be served in a paper cup. Ahhh those bloody paper cups, one of the popular symbols of our\u00a0throw-away society!<\/strong>\u00a0A nightmare<\/strong>\u00a0for the environment.<\/p>\n The making of paper cups requires resources such as\u00a0wood<\/strong>\u00a0(therefore trees),\u00a0petrol, water<\/strong>\u00a0and also\u00a0chemical products<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0energy<\/strong>, not to mention plastic covers, paper holders or stirers…<\/p>\n All these single-use paper cups end up in the trash after a short-period usage,\u00a0 or in the ocean, which is the same since our garbage often end up in the ocean.<\/p>\n Oh you wanna talk about\u00a0recycling? Sorry, these cups are\u00a0not recyclable<\/strong>\u00a0because of their plastic lining, therefore\u00a0not biodegradable<\/strong>\u00a0either.<\/p>\n More than\u00a04 billion<\/strong>\u00a0cups are consumed in France every year. I did not find the number for China but it’s best not knowing because I would probably have a stroke.<\/p>\n MY SOLUTION<\/strong>: Ask for a mug when ordering your drinks and if you want to have them take away,\u00a0use your flask\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0your own reusable mug<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n TIPS: Some coffee shops offer you a 3 RMB<\/strong> discount when you bring your own mug \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Isn’t that easy to be ecoconscious?<\/p>\n When you order a hot drink in a coffee shop, most of the time it will be served in a paper cup.
