Nov 19, 2007 BANG FOR THE BITE If 10,000 Biters bring their own mugs to the café, in a year we'll avert the weight of 1,517 baristas in disposable-cup waste. COCKTAIL FACTOID In Amsterdam, coffee shops serve marijuana in addition to coffee. LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . .The Coffee Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip?(5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 Wanna take the junk out of "coffee junkie"? The Bite Cut the junk by cutting your disposable cup habit. Instead of a foam or paper cup, sip your daily dose out of your own travel mug if you are on the go, or ask the café for a " to stay " mug if you have a few minutes to hang. The Benefits Cutting waste. If you purchase one cup of coffee every day in a disposable container, you create about 23 lb of waste each year. Fewer noxious chems. Polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) can actually disrupt your hormones, and the chlorine used to bleach paper cups creates carcinogenic dioxins during production. Saving cash. Many coffeehouses offer a small discount to customers who bring in their own reusable containers. Personally Speaking Despite the goofiness of her laughing-cow mug, Jenifer's resolved to take it with her to the nearby café when she needs an afternoon pick-me-©up. Wanna Try? Biter Mugs - new, mini French press commuter mugs that brew loose tea and java; 14 oz, stainless-steel ($24). Stainless Steel Travel Mug - simple, 16-oz mug with a stainless-steel interior and acrylic exterior, with 11 color options ($10). Thermos Vacuum Bottle - safe, 17-oz, glass option in three colors keeps your java warm longer ($9). Join the Bite Club: give companies your 2¢ and get discounts or freebies.
