Reusable Mugs For Work

As simple as it is to be “Green or Eco” at your job, you would think that almost everyone there would have their own reusable coffee mug. I can’t tell you how many employees at my last employer relied on the company to pay for Styrofoam coffee cups. There are 3 things that are wrong with this picture:
  1. The cost that a company spends is astronomical
  2. The Styrofoam in the landfills will take thousands of years to break down
  3. It is pure laziness & cheap not to provide your own mug
One can take pride in the mug that they have at work. To me, mugs reflect one’s personality. One’s likes and dislikes: whether it be sports, hobbies, religion, cats, dogs or any type of theme. Like me, I have been using a “Dunder Mifflin” mug for years: it tells everyone that I am a geeky nerd. My whole cubicle was set up as  - The Office.
Here are just a couple if ideas on how you can buy reusable coffee mugs for your job and be environmentally conscious as well. Just click on the photo and it will link you to the site where you can buy it. I have not included any type of theme since that is up to your personal taste.
 
This is an example of the first reusable mug I owned, In fact I still have and use this one when I am at home at the computer writing my blogs. It is very sturdy and has lasted many falls on the floor. It’s awesome features include:  durable BPA-free plastic with a nonslip sleeve attached, double wall insulation to keep fluids hot for hours, the lid seals tight to prevent leaks or spills, is a 16oz mug that is microwave and dishwasher safe.
This mug is perfect to have on your desk instead of carrying it around from cafe to cafe. The mug is elegant looking and is breakable yet sturdy enough for a busy day in the office. It features: it is constructed of double-walled porcelain for hot or cold drinks, has a flexible silicone lid that is fits snug to prevent spills or splashes, is dishwasher safe but can only be warmed in the microwave (remember warm not boiling hot) and this mug only holds about 10 ounces.
The last mug is a personal favorite of mine. I do know that some of these mugs listed are one’s I have used or have owned but they are durable, lasted years and help save the environment. This mug is the one I use in my backpack when I go to sporting events or expos. The great features include: one hand activation, has vacuum insulation for hours of hot coffee, double wall stainless steel that makes it odor free and the major feature is that it has 3 seals that keep it from leaking or even spilling. I hope that you have found this helpful and I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season.

This is my small “cubed” space in the giant blogosphere. Here I can write my rants, raves and musings on Office Life, Ecology, Sports, Diabetes and Trekkie subjects. I have been asked – what is my Cubicle? Well, a cubicle can be defined as your workplace, your laptop, your home office, your car, on the bus, on the transit train, your personal space at home and even your Wi-Fi space at your local Starbucks or Borders Bookstore. To me, my “cubicle” is where I can be me without any outside interference.
