Ok, so what's the deal with everyone going green, right? Now-a-days, you can't walk into a store and buy a product without seeing "organic" this or "eco-friendly" that....and what is "going green" anyway?

At Zappos, we want to do our part to clean this world up a little at a time, and it really comes down to the individual that the actions that you take.

So, I will be giving you some Eco-Friendly advice every couple days on the Zappos blogs to let you know small little ways that you can help the environment. I want to make your transition to the "Eco-friendly New You", as Cheap and Painless as possible!

GREEN TIP FOR THE DAY #1

BRING YOUR MUG TO WORK - The list goes on about the benefits of doing this, plus why have those stainless still mugs that keep your coffee hot if you're not going to use them? Styrofoam is not recyclable, so even if you wanted to you can't. Do the Earth a favor and use that Mug!!

See you next time, and stay Green, yo!

I work at a licensed Starbucks on the UT Austin campus and if you bring in your own cup we charge you 54 cents for coffee and tea and tall prices for everything else. Granted, that's not typical Starbucks policy but we like to promote the green efforts at our store. :-)

@awalkowiak that's awesome! More stores around the U.S. should really adopt that policy. Or at least some type of discount in order to encourage coffee drinkers to bring their own cups.

I agree! I know personally it would encourage me to bring my own cup as well as shopping bag etc... The Smiths near my house gives you 5 cents a bag for any plastic bags you bring back to the store. Its a Start !

I have my own mug at work and it makes my workplace feel more like home. I think coffee or tea tastes better in a real cup.
