It's all about being green folks ...

Since moving out west, I'm really embracing my inner Greenie. Here is my latest "reducing waste" venture - eliminating takeaway coffee cups by using this Bodium plastic fantastic. Local coffee joints are more than happy to use it too. There are heaps around from expensive, labels like StarBucks to cheap Warehouse ones. I got mine from this cool little tea shop "Customs Coffee House" in Queen's Arcade for $10.
To be honest it is debatable which is worse: the non-biodegradable waste from a waxy takeaway cup vs the energy used to make the petroleum composition of the Bodium plastic fantastic.
Of course, the ultimate solution is I could just have less takeaway coffee.

Stupid idea, I agree.
