Go Green!

Unoriginal title aside, I think it's time I take a moment to address today's environmental issues in my own dorky little way. Of course, I was inspired to write this post upon browsing Fred Flare at ridiculous hours of the morning instead of sleeping like normal diurnal creatures. I'm not going to make this a long spiel about saving the whales-- I'm particularly fond of narwhals, if you must know-- and preserving the rain forests-- I'm particularly fond of the movie "Fern Gully," if you must know that as well. Instead, I'm just going to make this a brief post containing a wee suggestion for your next Starbucks run.

I thought this cup was absolutely darling. Yes, I said it. This cup is darling. It looks just like any other paper container that's doled out to the public at coffee shops, but in reality, this cup is made of porcelain and silicone. What does that mean for you? A little more space in the trash can and one more dish to scrub. What does that mean for the earth? A little more space in our overflowing landfills. Hey, every little bit counts.
