This is what I bought today! The classic coffee cup to go, goes green!

I was at Homesense today with my girl friend Michelle, who was shopping for Hallowe'en decor for her big "to do" on the 31st. She was doing a little pre-Christmas shopping too. Why not cover both holidays in one stop? Strolling through the kitchen section I found this adorable little eco-friendly coffee cup by Copco. The tag said "Eco Is In". Tell me about it. This eco-cup looks like a disposable paper one, but it's reusable. At a quick glance, you'd mistaken it for a paper cup. I certainly did. I actually though that someone had littered their coffee cup in the aisle!

These coffee cups are called the "Eco-First Acadia Mugs" and come in pink, blue, purple, tan and green. They are dishwasher, microwave and "green-wash" safe too. Love it! Ladies-just remember to wipe your lipstick off before throwing it in the dishwasher. I am on a never-ending quest to “do better" and make a difference-so naturally I thought that this was the "cats meow". It just doesn't feel right buying Starbucks and tossing the disposable cup when your done-not when you enjoy two or three "cups of joe" a day like me! You can buy yours at the nearest Homesense near you, or online at Bed, Bath & Beyond for just two dollars less then I did at $5.99. If all fails, try here for a list of retailers.
