The Best Eco-Friendly Alternatives To Traditional To-Go Coffee Cups

As part of HuffPost’s “Reclaim” project, HuffPost Taste will focus the entire month of July on simple ways you can reduce food waste in your own home.

And then there’s the problem with styrofoam: 25 billion styrofoam coffee cups are thrown out annually. So much waste. There’s a simple solution to fighting this waste and it now comes in many stylish options. We’re talking about the travel mug, folks.

Travel mugs might be a pain to remember ― and to lug around ― but when they’re as intelligently designed as the ones below, they’re easy to use. Check them out and start bringing your own cup to the coffee shop.
