And if you are anything like me, you typically get your coffee on the go. I make an effort to bring my coffee tumbler, but let&#8217;s be honest&#8230; I don&#8217;t always remember it, or I forget to wash it. Nothing ruins a great cup of coffee like day-old, crusty coffee residue at the bottom of my tumbler. Laden with guilt, I leave the coffee shop with a disposable, paper cup knowing all to well it will end up in some landfill somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many coffee drinkers don&#8217;t realize that 58 billion paper coffee cups are thrown away, unrecycled, each year. Also, 20 million trees are cut down and approximately 12 billion gallons of water is used in the process of manufacturing paper cups. These fun facts are brought to you by the fine folks at <a title=\"Betacup Challenge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thebetacup.com\/\">Betacup<\/a> who have decided to step up and do something about it.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/planetsave.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/05\/betacup-encourages-collaboration-to-create-a-sustainable-coffee-cup\/#more-5314\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Betacup Challenge recruits designers to create a sustainable coffee cup You have a chance to help create the perfect, sustainable coffee cup and win a piece of $20,000 through the Betacup Challenge.
