One positive note. Everyone in my work group goes to coffee every morning. I've been bringing my travel coffee mug for a few months now, and today, my coworker asked about it. He said he's noticed me carrying it with me, that he's heard me talk about sustainability, and that he's going to look for one. When we got back to the office, I sent him a link to the company that makes it (OXO - it's a leakproof stainless steel travel mug). So I'm feeling gratified that he is now thinking about making this one small change in his life. It's all about baby steps...
