Turning Conservation Into Loyalty

At the Bovine Bakery in Point Reyes Station, CA, there’s a custom shelf on the wall that holds a collection of coffee cups. I thought it was a nice decoration, but then I read the posted notes – people can leave a coffee cup and use it instead of a throw-away paper cup. It’s a win for the Bovine Bakery, the environment, and the Point Reyes community.

Why I love this idea:

• Less paper cups in the trash
• The coffee is $0.25 cheaper when you use your own cup
• I’d be more likely to get my coffee from a cafe where I leave my coffee cup
• It’s a great decoration – the coffee cup is like an online avatar. My favorite is the metal coffee cup in the bottom right.
