Green Initiative | Phasing out of paper cups at IT office- A thought !

We have been using the paper cups in our office for drinking coffee/ Tea & water. For the global warming, lack of trees being one of the main reason. 

 Just for the information, here are some interesting facts about the paper cups usage as follows (Facts & figures extracted from an internet site),

·          On an average, we consume 6,000 paper cups per working day  (4 cups/person/day)

·          Consumption of 6,000 paper cups per working day equals to 30,844 Kgs of paper, generating of 67,132 kgs of solid waste per year  

·          On an average, we use 16,50,000 paper cups in a year which equals to the cutting of 4,520 tree/ year

·          The above facts are only for one office. Just imagine for the other offices !!!

New method our company Sapient following:

·          We are using Steel mugs for Coffee/ Tea & pearl pet bottles for drinking water. With this we will phase out usage of paper cups in all pantries in floors.

·          At Cafeteria, we are using the steel glasses for drinking water.

Let's give our two cents in saving the environment!

I encourage others also to go with the same idea and save world & save environment!!
