1,181 Trees Planted
For Earth Day 2018, I and my favorite charity (no name) Art Group promote the use of reusable thermoses & mugs by hosting an online CupArt gallery. Supporters can view the online CupArt for a $1 donation to One Tree Planted. Our fundraiser ended in $1,181 in donations – that’s 1,181 trees planted, hooray!
I created some fun CupArt while in Australia. My “real” cups were donated to an art exhibition in Sydney.
Did You Know? 50 billion cups in the U.S. end up in landfills every year – enough that if placed end to end, they would go to the moon and back roughly five times. Most paper cups are made from cardboard with a thin layer of plastic tightly attached on to the cup, which makes the cup non-recyclable.
