Why Disposable Coffee Cups are so Disastrous You might think that paper cups are “good” because since they are made out of paper they are recyclable, right? wrong. But that’s not even half of the issue. The main issues are: ●Straws ●Plastic lids Straws are terrible for the environment. You use them for around 5 minutes, and then you have to wait 200 years for them to decompose . What’s even more disastrous are plastic cups. Plastic coffee cups take over 100 years to decompose. Unfortunately, a lot of people still use plastic cups. 1.7 billion Coffee cups are thrown away every single year in Canada alone (that is 4,650,000 every day)! |
