I have two dear friends in Boulder (Mandy on the far left and Shauna next to her) who have come up with a brilliant new idea; reusable coffee covers. The statistics surrounding paper cup use and the paper covers that go with them are staggering. There is more information on the website, but it's something like 4 million paper cups used every year, and thus, around that many paper covers.
Our country seems to be in a really positive swing towards stewarding the environment more faithfully and with that has come a desire to do whatever we can to make a difference, big or small. The reusable coffee covers are a beautiful way to not only protect your hands from a burning hot beverage, but to do your part to eliminate unnecessary waste. If you're a regular patron of your local coffee shop, please take a look at their website and help support two women who are all about making a difference, and not just for your coffee cup.
The website is www.coffeecover.net

Thanks so much, Natalie! :)
Hey, Nat! I thought this was so cool that I made a post about it on my own blog! (bradandmeagan.blogspot.com)
I will definitely be a proud coffee cover owner :). Hope they don't mind me passing it on - they might get very busy very fast!
