And Bring Your Own Cup…

Being gentle with the environment is not only popular, it is important. I do not worship trees, but neither do I take for granted the rich resources and beauty that humans have been blessed with. I love stories about people doing cool things.
I was emailed the following story. How cool is this?
A coffeehouse opened in Tunkhannock, Pa in December. It’s name is Swirls and it is owned by Dawn Kuduk. She wanted to support the environment and promote sustainability…what to do?
She decided to offer one dollar off coffee to anyone who used a cup that they brought from home. That means that she has a lower overhead, she has less trash to mess with, and less to inventory.
Brilliant. You know what? It is people like this, who do one seemingly small thing, that make the biggest difference! Great job kudos to Dawn!

Ohhh, I like that idea, too. I’d really enjoy paying less for my coffee. Sounds like a win-win to me!
cool idea, isnt it?
I definitely think that’s a great idea. I’d like some places near me to do that, or even better yet a large chain like Starbucks to do something alone those lines. That could make a huge difference.
I think so too Mike!
