Daily in the UK we use more than 7 MILLION DISPOSABLE CUPS - 500,000 are dropped on the floor! UK is one of the worst in the World in disposable cup waste using 2.5 billion cups a year – this would create a pile of disposable cup waste as big as the Albert Hall in London! We have 4 times more cafes in the UK as there were in 2000. Branded coffee shops have grown from around 600 to nearly 7500 outlets. Around half the coffee we drink is from a disposable cup! Recycling or compostable cups are not the answer! STOPPING is the answer! We don't need to use any disposable cups ever. It is very simple to carry a reusable cup with you. It is also very simple for coffee shops such as Starbucks, Costa, Cafe Nero and Pret to stop serving coffee in disposable cups and make reusable take-away cups more obviously available and cheaper in price. Unlike many environmental problems this one is not hard to fix - it can be fixed overnight!
