I thought it was a nice decoration, but then I read the posted notes &#8211; people can leave a coffee cup and use it instead of a throw-away paper cup. It&#8217;s a win for the Bovine Bakery, the environment, and the Point Reyes community.</p> <p>Why I love this idea:</p> <ul> <li>Less paper cups in the trash</li> <li>The coffee is $0.25 cheaper when you use your own cup</li> <li>I&#8217;d be more likely to get my coffee from a cafe where I leave my coffee cup</li> <li>It&#8217;s a great decoration &#8211; the coffee cup is like an online avatar. My favorite is the metal coffee cup in the bottom right.</li> </ul> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 02:25:00 EST <a href="/articles/2007/04/17/turning-conservation-into-loyalty">Turning Conservation Into Loyalty</a> <a href="/articles/2007/04/17/turning-conservation-into-loyalty">Turning Conservation Into Loyalty</a>
