Eco friendly coffee cups

That's a very interesting question indeed, and I suppose... to answer it - we must first look at how eco-friendly coffee cups came to be. The exact origins of the eco-friendly cup seem to be unknown, therefore the inventor of the handy disposable beverage holder may never be known, although there is evidence that they were used as far back as Imperial China. What is known is that around the beginning of the 1900’s, eco-friendly cups gained popularity when people began to realise that sharing the same tin or ladle, to drink from water barrels, also meant sharing germs.

In 1907, a Boston lawyer named Lawrence Luellen, developed the “Health Kup” (which later became known as the Dixie Cup in 1919). Lawrence did this to help improve public health and hygiene due to the concerns of shared-use cups. But Lawrence didn’t perform this mammoth task alone. He worked for the American Water Supply Company, whose founder, Hugh Moore, developed a water-vending machine with disposable cups and together Lawrence and Hugh embarked on an advertising campaign to educate the public and market the machine.

During the great American flu epidemic of 1918 eco-friendly cups rapidly grew in popularity as a way of avoiding infection. In the century since, the eco-friendly cup has evolved from simply a health solution to an everyday convenience object. Each day, millions of eco-friendly cups are used so that people can take their drinks with them whilst they go, something that is necessary in today’s busy world. Another great use of the eco-friendly cup is at large events, for example festivals and concerts due to the fact that they can just be recycled at the end of the day instead of 1000’s of cups having to be washed. Now... with this mind do shops indeed allow you to use your own eco friendly coffee cups for a take away tea/coffee instead of using their own disposable cups?

Well... to find out if shops allow you to use your own eco-friendly coffee cups, for a take away tea/coffee - instead of using their own disposable cups, we must ask the shop in question... - one would assume it is perfectly fine to do so, but in order to remove all doubt - asking the shop in question will be the most reliable way to find out whether you can indeed - commendably - use your own eco-friendly coffee cups, for a take away tea/coffee - instead of using their own disposable cups.

You know... I always feel bad after a little while, for posting something hilarious (in my head) - but a little insincere, so I'm sorry OP. I would say most shops do not mind at all, it's probably best to ask though! I don't think they would like to see you coming with one of these for example!!!

Maybe they would. You'd be paying dear to have that one filled.

Can you imagine lugging this one in though - totally straight faced, a little... normal-closed-mouth-how-are-you-doing-we're-all-in-this-together type smile to anyone who looks at you funny - and proceeding to fill it up, go up and pay - and drag it off out into the world, with not a bother on you? I'm just asking you to imagine it by the way!! You don't have to answer that! !
