When I can, I try to always remember to bring a coffee Keep Cup with me whilst I’m on the road.
I’m a huge supporter of trying to reduce single-use plastics as it only contributes to unwanted waste that takes years to breakdown.
Plus I find if you take your reusable cup some coffee shops will even give you a discount. Win!
