Isn't the most 'green' way to drink coffee to reused the same ceramic cup or travel mug? People that are really concerned about this issue already do this. Why get this pretentious?

It's doesn't seem as though these cups use any recycled content... is there a way to combine recycled paper with this bio-plastic lining for an even better cup?

We all need to become more focused on and aware of sustainability. I'd like to see more companies use this approach... and more customers using refillable, washable coffee mugs! Kudos!
