Ready to ditch disposable coffee cups? Here are some handy Challenge DIY tips & tricks to get you doing the reuse in no time.
Love your mug. Don't settle for a lukewarm mug. Find a coffee companion that makes you happy to fill up every morning, because if you love it, you'll use it.
Easy does it. If reusing for a month seems impossible, commit to reusing for a week or two instead. See how easy or challenging it is and up the ante from there.
Strength in numbers. Ask a coworker or neighbor to accept the challenge with you so you can keep each other accountable and share ideas.
Go public. Tell the people you’re close to about the challenge. Even if they don’t do the reuse with you, at least they won’t unwittingly bring you a latte in a disposable.
One for the road. Keep an extra reusable in your car so you’re never in need of a caffeine fix without a mug.

I've switched to a rad mug with a skull on it at the office. I call it "Skully" and it saves a bundle of cups from being disposed.
I gave up coffee years ago but drink lots of tea. I always keep travel mugs in my car for when I stop to grab a cup. It's not hard to get in the routine of using it!
Nancy - Jenn here from Aladdin. I whole-heartedly support keeping a second mug in your car. Great way to make doing the reuse even easier. Thanks for the tip!
