Use a mug. Reduce Waste. Get a discount! ®
April 21 is CoolPeopleCare's and The Mug Project's Take-Your-Mug-to-Work Day
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Save the World One Café Latte at a Time
CoolPeopleCare and The Mug Project Partner for National Initiative
Monday, April 21 is CoolPeopleCare's and The Mug Project's Take-Your-Mug-to-Work Day and readers are encouraged to bring their own mug to work, to the coffee shop, and anywhere else they might get coffee and would normally use a paper or plastic cup. Right before Earth Day (April 22), Take-Your-Mug-to-Work Day is one small step people can take to make their world a little better.
According to the book, New Day Revolution, by Sam Davidson and Stephen Moseley (co-founders of CoolPeopleCare, Inc.), if someone uses their own mug every day for a year, they'll save a tree all by themselves, since the average tree can produce between 300-400 paper cups. “Taking your mug to work is just one small thing we can all do to make this world a better place. Every little action matters when it comes to saving the earth,” says Davidson.
In honor of the day, CoolPeopleCare.org has partnered with The Mug Project and will be releasing their first CoolPeopleCare branded mug made from corn that is 100% biodegradable and microwave safe. The Mug Project is a Boston-based Web site that encourages people to take their own mug with them year-round (www.mugproject.com). Joseph Porcelli, of The Mug Project, says, "We want people to take their mugs everywhere, and taking it to work is a great first step. We're happy to be partnering with CoolPeopleCare to let more people know about the benefits of reusable mugs."
Another great benefit of bringing your own mug with you is that several coffee shops around town give discounts to customers who bring their own mugs. Starbucks gives a 10-cent discount and Fido gives a 20-cent discount to their customers. And although it doesn’t sound like much, those savings can really add up if you’re an avid coffee drinker.
This event is part of CoolPeopleCare's first annual Springamajig, which highlights 40 days of events designed to get people out of their homes and out into their communities. For more information about Take-Your-Mug-to-Work Day and other green ideas, please visit the Springamajig calendar at www.springamajig.org.

CoolPeopleCare exists to motivate and educate people in order to mobilize them to change their worlds.
