Go on, tell me more

Plastic cups are the spawn of the devil. Plastic cups are like a mixture of Chucky the ventriloquist's doll, the guy with the hockey mask and the Japanese girl on the black and white TV set. When you next see a plastic cup, think about all this. If it makes you throw up with fear, maybe you've got an overactive imagination and you should cut down on the horror films for a bit. But plastic cups are taking over the world and they're nasty.

    Not only the plastic cup but also the paper cup...

    I feel sorry for using plastic cups and paper cups in the past years. Now I drink at workplace with the glass cylindar provided by company, moreover, I will buy a water bottle and keep it in my bag everyday. 24 February 2010, 01:56

    no more plastic cups

    I use a water bottle every where I go. This also gives me more of an incentive to drink water instead of other unhealthy drinks. 20 February 2010, 22:36

    Nifty plastic cup replacement

    The RNLI do a wonderful collapsable plastic cup in a small package only about 8 cm diameter. It is a really useful thing to have in the briefcase or handbag for all those watercoolers out there. Highly recommend it or something similar. 31 January 2010, 20:45

    Bottles

    instead of using plastic cups for every time i want a drink at college , i just re-fill my bottle every time. Then i can recycle the bottle later! so its all good for the environment :) 10 November 2009, 12:09

    Office Coffee

    When in mood for coffee I' drink it almost every time in front of my computer. So I use a normal cup for coffee that I can wash and reuse every day. 26 October 2009, 08:43

    i need that mug on my tree!


    I need that mug on my mug tree as my wife has alreaddy registeded interest in one (her name is sarah) an i thought we could resuce again the number of mugs used in our house. it also seems like fate that both our names are on the list. By the way my wife bought a "plastic ain't my bag" bag and loves it. its where she got your website details from. carry on the great work.     17 February 2008, 08:47

    my mug tree needs that mug!


    my mug tree needs that mug because without it all my family will keep making tea in fresh cups because they can't remember whose mug is whose. this results in untold amounts if hot water being used needlessly, as well as washing up liquid (and not to mention all those chapped hands). on top of that I think it's really cool!     17 February 2008, 08:36
