Reusable cup
I started a new job in January. My job would stock up on water bottle cases for us employees. But I noticed people would bring in their own coffee cups. I asked everyone if they would be willing to bring in their own water cup to refill so we could trade buying water bottle cases and instead get a water dispenser. Everyone was up for it and now we have a nice water dispenser that we fill 5-gallon jugs for when needed. No more going through cases of water a week. This is a photo of my water cup that I absolutely adore. The artwork on the cup is by Rex Sterling Hamilton, an artist from where I am from (Austin, Texas).

Hi Alyssa,
A similar situation occurred at my job where one person made a suggestion, sparking a domino effect. We work for the residents, I’m in local government, and they definitely hold us accountable for doing our best to reduce waste.

Hi Marcus, I’ll be honest, I’m not the most eco-conscious person, yet, but I’m trying to take small steps. Lately, I’ve been paying more attention to food waste and using reusable containers instead of plastic bags when I can. I’ve also thought about skipping trash bags in the bathroom bins since they don’t fill up quickly, and just rinsing the bins out as needed. It’s a work in progress, but I figure every little bit helps. Thanks for sharing!
