Sustainable Blog Edition #13.

We all know the feeling of waking up in the morning and our first thought being “oh my gosh, I need coffee ASAP!”. To a lot of us, this means grabbing a cup of joe on our way to work, school, errands, or wherever else we’re off to that day.  


However, oftentimes this means lots of plastic waste between the cups, lids, straws, etc.

 

So, what can we do about it?


The answer isn’t to stop getting coffee (you can breathe a sigh of relief). The answer is to stop at the RIGHT coffee shops, the ones who are making an effort to minimize their negative impacts on the environment. 


We’ve compiled a list of some places in NYC that do just that. All of these cafes accept reusable cups! Bring your own cup and do your part:)
