Anyway, down the blog are two places to get coffee, a little shop and 7-11. I actually prefer 7-11 most days, primarily because:
1. They say hi when I walk in. The coffee shop I went to for six months and they looked at me like I had never been there before.
2. They're quick.
Anyway, what always bummed me out about 7-11 coffee was that it came in Styrofoam cups, which aren't rad for the environment. I have my own cup, but when i need an XL jolt, I usually buy one of theirs.
Today I discovered they're phasing out the Styrofoam, at least in the 24 ounce size.

The only drawback I see is that these cups get hotter and require those little sleeves to keep from burning your hands. Is that more/worse waste than the Styrofoam? I'm not sure and too lazy to look, BUT, i can re-use the sleeves, so maybe that'll be better.
Of course, I'm sure 7-11 is far from being the leader in green. Heck, the lights are always on! But as my friends at Arbor told me once, it's all about shades of green. 7-11 is doing their bit and hopefully it'll go further.
