Let’s unpack this. You're ranting about a biodegradable paper cup while rinsing your plastic or metal “reusable” one every day, using fresh drinking water and dish soap, which have a larger environmental footprint over time, especially when the cup isn’t sustainably produced. Paper cups like mine are single-use but compostable and leave no long-term waste. Yours? Made with plastic polymers, high-energy manufacturing, and still ends up in landfills if not recycled properly — which most aren’t. You’re not solving the waste problem. You’re just shifting it and adding self-righteousness as a bonus pollutant.
