Our friends at TreeHugger have some info on the debate on the use of paper vs. styrofoam vs. ceramic:
In this story the ‘good guy’ ceramic cup wins hands down in the functional use category. Designed for a long, durable life it can be used for well over 3,000 slurping sessions. Whereas the other cups are intended for trivial single use. Thus their lightweight, non-durable, disposable construction means they can perform well, measured against the other environmental criteria.
Here are links to things we talked about Carnegie Mellon Study, Edmunds Study. The Edmunds study did not find tire pressure made a difference, but I’ve seen many that prove it makes a difference.
