So, I went to get a take-out coffee at my favorite coffee shop this morning and wondered what people are doing these days with their plastic and paper cups, especially when they’re on their way somewhere…? In this city, they used to have recycling bins every few blocks, but I’ve noticed their disappearance as of late. So, now I try to remember that if I throw my cup in a public garbage can, that cup is on its way to a landfill somewhere to decompose slowly over the next 100 years… or I could make sure that I take it home and throw it in my recycling bin!
