Take a Commuter Mug

From our friends at the Sierra Club:

If you're like us, you need a jolt of caffeine to start your day, especially on these cold winter mornings. You already know to buy
organic, fair-trade, and shade-grown coffee and tea, so this week we’re giving you other tips for making your daily cup eco-friendlier.

When heading out the door in the morning, grab a commuter mug to hand the barista at your favorite coffee shop; you may even get a small discount. Skip the plastic mug in favor of ceramic or stainless steel. On days when you’re in a hurry and forget the mug, check your paper cup, sleeve, and lid to see whether they can be recycled or composted.

Tell us: Does your local cafe offer a discount for bringing your own mug? and if so, where??? We all could use the extra money!
