unconsumption:

According to Stanford University’s School of Earth Sciences:

If every Starbucks customer used a re-usable coffee thermos, we could save 1,181,600 tons of wood, 2,040,061,237 pounds of carbon dioxide, and 4,441,093,624 gallons of water every year. That’s more carbon dioxide than would be emitted if the entire population of San Francisco got in their cars and drove from San Francisco to New York. And it’s enough water to supply all of Los Angeles for 8 days.

So, one small shift in one habit can have a profound impact.

    That’d be nice. I’d say about 15% of my customers at SB use their own to go mugs.
