The other day I went to get a cup of coffee and as I walked out the door Kate said "Get me one too". When I got to City Feed I realized I only brought my mug. I choose to buy Kate a cup anyway fearing for my life If I did not bring her a cup of mornin' Joe. It did make me think though. I need to change my patterns and behavior. The good news is it's not hard to do. Next time guilt will kick in and make me remember to bring a mug for her too.

I thinks it's fantastic that you choose not to get coffee that one time. I not sure I would have made the same choice as i'm addicted but trust I will be prepared in the future.

Great idea about the containers. You can actually start a group for the containers here if you like. Go to the groups tab and simple choose "create a new group."

Great to have you on board.; ▶ Reply to This

It's an otherwise nondescript-looking mug, but just having the logo on there makes people ask occasionally what Farm Sanctuary is. It's been a great way to bring some awareness of animal welfare issues into not-particularly-animal-friendly work environments.; ▶ Reply to This

All the plastic mugs I have tried taste weird and I need something with a cover for the T. Anybody know of a good thermos cup with a lid that doesn't leak and that does not taste of plastic?

I like the ceramic mugs at City Feed on Boylston by Stoney Brook. The nicest mug I found is at http://www.oxo.com/xxoxo_ibeCCtpOXOPrdDtl.jsp?item=47318.; ▶ Reply to This

I also use stainless steel water bottles and love them. Bottled water is about as bad as disposable coffee mugs and ridiculously overpriced.

I also often take a thermos of coffee to work to avoid having to pay a lot of money for something that's way cheaper to make at home and I ask for a "real" mug at coffee shops if I intend to have a cup of coffee or tea there.; ▶ Reply to This

you're right, quite a few coffee places don't offer the option (particularly chain stores), but many independent coffee shops will serve you coffee in a regular mug, such as 1369 in Cambridge. I make it a habit to ask, regardless of where I am - you never know.

Good luck!
