coffee cups in the office or not?

**ACG** · 10-22-2010, 01:56 PM

I’m trying to be green and phase out disposable coffee cups, we buy anywhere from 3000 to 6000 per month. Sorry I didn't make one of those fancy poll things:

So quick question: (ask your spouse’s too)

1.Does your company supply paper coffee cups?
2.Styrofoam?
3.Doesn’t supply cups?
4.You don’t care, stop bothering me.

Thanks!

3. We have our own. I can't really imagine needing a disposable one. No. I'm wrong, there are a few disposable ones in the meeting rooms, meant for guests.

I'm pretty sure we have disposable ones in the kitchen, but many people use their own mug instead.

(I don't drink coffee, so I don't remember offhand. But occasionally I will make a cup of tea here at work, and the last time I did that there were cups here for me to use.)

We're an environmental agency, so it's Bring Your Own Cup. We have a collection of cups and mugs for visitors as needed.

We have a collection of coffee mugs and extras for guests.

The agency doesn't supply anything coffee-related, but our employee-funded coffee club does keep a stash of styrofoam cups around, as well as a small collection of hand-me-down mugs. Most employees use their own mugs.

Use my own. Even when I stop at the coffee shop I try and take my own travel mug along for use.

I use my own. We do have a couple of extras for guests and do not use disposable cups at all.

We have our own. And it's pretty disgusting here, since we don't have a kitchen sink to wash them in and our building landlord doesn't like us washing dishes in the bathroom sink.

Where I worked this summer, we all had our own mugs. I usually came in with a cafe au lait or a mocha in the morning in my travel cup and then used my mug in the day at work. I love my travel mug because it has a "clip" function that clips onto a basket or your handlebars!

Currently, I started the coffee trend in the office with the grad students, being the first one to bring a pot in! We all have mugs and are pretty dang eco conscious!

Ditto...and now I make DH do the same. It doesn't come naturally for him, but he's a work in progress

We all have our own mugs, and discposable paper/foam cups for patients, visitors and guests.

last year the company I work for bought mugs for everyone with the companies name on one side and Green Week 2010 on the other.

we have reusable mugs, but most people bring their own personal mugs.

We have bottled water down where I work, as there are no sinks or kitchen nearby on this floor. The problem I have with that is, my being a germaphobe, I wonder what sort of critters may be incubating in the holding tank before it's pumped out. And are they sterilizing the reusable bottles? can I trust the hands that handle them? *shiver*
