Bringing your own coffee cup is such a simple but clever idea. Small changes really can make an impact. How about bringing your own bag as well to carry home the drive through goodies? Good article, thanks!

I think that this is a great idea but I wonder if some of the places would really allow you to do it? I really don't see what it would hurt but just curious as to if they would allow it.

I'm not sure why this article makes a comparison to "colonial times." Obviously, there was a great deal of use without concern for the environment since then. I'd be interested in knowing more recent data, such as how the forests are being depleted currently.

I think recycling of paper products at fast food restaurants is a great idea. I know they could cut down on how much packaging they use without much effort.

I agree we need to make more small changes to notice the big changes happening in this world. I think the idea you present is very good and if we could implement this we could see some changes.

I agree that using your own coffee cup is a great idea. A local gas station would offer discounted coffee refills if you brought in the travel mug that you bought there.
