I think all the coffee places as well as McDonalds should give you a reduced price for not using paper cups with plastic lids they use. Why don’t we all use a every day stainless steel coffee cup.

There are ones that don't leak (even when held upside down). Reusable is a much better option. Why not just carry your own reusable mug. There are ones that don’t leak (even when held upside down).

Think of how long it took for the recycling infrastructure to finally support (almost) nationwide recycling efforts... Even if you can't dispose of your cup and lid in a compost bin, you are still making a good choice by using something that is made from a renewable resource and takes less energy to manufacture. Plus, it's a lot cooler than styrofoam! Thankfully, the number of commercial composting facilities is on the rise – check http://www.findacomposter.com and see where the closest one is to you.

We sure don't. And the stuff just ends up getting thrown away and put in the landfill anyway. Yeah, but who has a commercial composter near them? We sure don’t.
