We’ve all read or heard of these studies that say that when
you account for the much higher energy of manufacture and of washing a reusable
cup, you might as well as use a disposable cup. You would have to use a hell of
a lot of disposable cups, such studies say, before you equal the energy use of
the reusable cup.
By the way, if you like the ultra cool cup, you may also like the green hipster PDA and perhaps even be willing to take the extra step to become a weirdo with a cloth.
