Paper Cups : do you use them?

Paper Cups :  do you use them?

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.
