it\u2019s that time of year; time to kill the cup. starting oct. 5, the kill the cup<\/a> campaign challenges beverage drinkers across the nation to cut their waste production by switching to reusable cups.<\/p>\n

founded in march 2013<\/a> by drew beal and mike taylor while they were mba students at the rady school of management at university of california, san diego, kill the cup saved a total of 15,440 cups during its 2014 campaign. that\u2019s 253 million pounds of landfill waste, 4 billion gallons of water and 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions according to the 2014 kill the cup impact report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

with your help, kill the cup\u2019s 2015 campaign may be even more successful at reducing cup waste than in previous years. you can participate in the campaign with your school<\/a> or office<\/a> (or sign up to do so, desk jockeys). barring that, kill the cup is looking for coffee shops<\/a> to start participating in the challenge, too. to participate in your challenge, upload a picture of yourself with your reusable cup during the campaign and don\u2019t forget to tag #killthecup on twitter<\/a> or check out the campaign on facebook<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

during the challenge, remember kill the cup’s tongue-in-cheek slogan: \u201cif you waste paper cups no one will like you.” ok, that last part might not be entirely true, but the planet will certainly be grateful for your effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
