    10 Simple Ways to Go Green and Save Green

    Forget Paper and Plastic, Pick Up the Porcelain

    Some employers are offering lucrative benefits to help employees live greener lives, but a recent squabble over mugs on the Private Practice got me thinking about how much trash offices churn out. Help your office cut back by bringing in reusable utensils and a dish set to work. Stop buying expensive paper towels for home and whip out the cloth napkins. You can throw them in the washing machine with your towels once a week. Photo copyright 2009 ABC, Inc.

    We have our own mugs for coffee and 'glasses' (plastic tumblers) for water/tea/etc.

    At work we always use plastic cups. that's 12 people using 7 or 8 cups a day... such a waste. I usually use the plastic cup more than once but the others don't. I think I might bring some mugs to work soon haha

    My company did away with all paper plates and cups, and gave us each our own mugs and glasses with the company logo. I love it! We also have a dishwasher to wash our dishes.
