Hi,

Do you need a cup of coffee (or two…or three) to make it through the day? Maybe you grab a cold brew in a disposable cup from a coffee shop on your way to work, or fill up a styrofoam cup in the office. Over time, these single-use products add up — over 500 billion disposable cups are used each year.¹

Styrofoam cannot be recycled and takes 500 years to decompose.² A very small percentage of plastic products are actually recycled while the rest ends up in landfills.³ Even supposedly eco-friendly paper cups contain a thin layer of plastic that leaches toxins into the environment after disposal.⁴

Using the same reusable cup many times is much better for the environment than using a disposable cup every day. If you’re ready to make the switch to a more sustainable beverage container, EARTHDAY.ORG has got you covered.

Order one of our ceramic mugs today to support our work and make a positive change.

These cute mugs are made from natural ceramic in factories powered by renewable energy, and are shipping in recycled plastic-free packaging. We also have stylish t-shirts, tote bags, and other merchandise available in our store. These items are created using sustainable organic cotton, making them a much greener alternative to fast fashion garments that use synthetic fibers and dyes. 

Your contribution will also support EARTHDAY.ORG’s diverse campaigns. We work year-round to promote climate literacy, combat fast fashion, and plant trees with The Canopy Project. Our efforts rely on the power of individuals like you to make sustainable choices and build the environmental movement from the ground up. 

Help our planet and do your part to reduce your waste by visiting our store and going green (really) today.

For sustainability,

The team at EARTHDAY.ORG
