4,000 cups is a lot of waste 3 Replies This picture is from an article that was in the UWO Gazette a couple of weeks ago. Apparently people at UWO go through about 4000 paper coffee cups a day.

Ever soda and every beer bottle I generate goes into the recycle bin. Every coffee, the wastebucket. Maybe it’s time I started bringing a cup. Reply ↓
