Every time you buy a takeaway drink, you receive a cup, a lid, a stirring stick, a straw, a sleeve or plastic bag. The 5 minutes that you’ve used to consume your drink equals to the life span of these takeaway items, and into the landfill they go, taking decades or even much longer period of time to break down.
Think about the resources used here. We chop down trees and melt plastic pellets to make single-use cups that are non-recyclable. We simply cannot afford this convenience at the expense of our planet.
Let us say goodbye to disposable cups today and bring our own cup. Let’s Go Cup together!
In Autumn 2016, Smiley Planet initiated Project “Go Cup" in collaboration and with full support from Standard Chartered Hong Kong 150th Anniversary Community Foundation, promoting the habit of bring your own cup in Hong Kong. We also invite food & beverage outlets to get involved, making it easier for customers to Go Cup!
