Disposable cups emit high levels of climate-changing greenhouse gases and consume natural resources to produce. Help the environment by encouraging your co-workers to wait until they get to the office to have their jolt of caffeine. Ask everyone to pitch in to buy a reliable coffee maker. There are many different options depending on your budget. Co-workers can also pool money together to buy sweeteners and creamers each month.

Not only are foam coffee cups bad for the environment but they could be detrimental to your health. The chemical component leaches into the coffee and then into you, and the chemicals migrate into hot liquids quicker than cool liquids. According to Grinning Planet, the chemicals in the foam cups mimic estrogen and can disrupt hormone functions. This could affect your thyroid and menstruation as well as lead to different cancers. The affects of these chemicals aren’t completely understood, because more research needs to be conducted. But why take the chance when you could reuse your coffee mug each day?
