I love reusable mugs! A lot of times coffee shops will give you more coffee for the size of a small when you bring your own, too :)

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch.
