Overall, the most ideal solution would be to have reusable cups incorporated in the consumer lifestyle.
Reusable mugs will reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills significantly. Tim Horton's actually reduces the cost of a coffee by 10 cents when a consumer purchases it in a reusable mug.
Caffiends is an environmentally friendly coffee shops situated at University of Toronto, Victoria College. They promote organic coffee and reusable mugs. Customers can either bring their own mug or use one from the shop (as long as you return it). This would be the most ideal coffee shop! However, living in a capitalist society this kind of option is not necessarily achievable in the short-term.
However, promoting reusable mugs is ideal and this is up to consumers. Consumers need to be educated on the harms of paper cups and be directed towards reusable mugs. It's an investment worth making.
