It would be a small part to help with the enviroment, but we should bring our cups with us.
The best place on EARTH

Its an excellent idea, and I use my own mug for the coffee machine at work - while watching the 100 or so there every morning disappear by afternoon :(
It won%26#039;t catch on with commercial stores because the size of cups and mugs differ and it can be hard to judge sizes. However, mostly it won%26#039;t can on because most places use paper/cardboard cups - not a problem environmentally. I%26#039;d be more concerned about how far the coffee beans have travelled around the world, and the unethical treatment of the workers who pick the beans.

The price of coffee at Starbucks.

now that won%26#039;t look sad at all when you go thumble around your bag for your own cup and everyone is just looking at you and thinking wierdo - same reason why I would not bring my own bags to a supermarket its just not socially acceptable

Because, I usually don%26#039;t make a plan to go get coffee. It%26#039;s usually something that just happens on the way to work or while i%26#039;m out shopping, etc............
I don%26#039;t keep a cup in my car with me.
