I've been spending a lot of time in coffee shops recently and I have begun to notice the amount of waste that accumulates from beverage consumption. It's not so bad if you're sitting-in with a porcelain mug but for every person sipping-on-the-go or preferring a cold beverage, paper and plastic cups seem to be the only way. Watching the bins filling up, my guilty conscience has inspired me to search high and low for ways to recycle and give a second life to the waste products of our coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc... habits. Let's start by taking on coffee sleeves!!! They are ever so useful, those ribbed cardboard circles, when the cups are too hot to handle but just have a look at their repurposing possibilities...
Rita Hutcheson-Cobbs has blessed the world with beautiful recycled coffee cup sleeve scrapbooks. Why not use the same method to created save-the-dates, invitations, escort cards, place settings etc...?! Here's Rita's tutorial:
