Not just that, but they go as far as claiming that single-use Solo cups are more environmentally than using a mug. Literally anything made cheap and quick and with little energy is better by their calculus. Doesn't pass the sniff test, IMO.

As opposed to ceramic mugs that just materialize in your house? Not sure about you, but I don't have a dilithium powered transporter in my kitchen.
- Volundr 1mo agoMy mug only had to be transported to my house once. With disposable cups that's a recurring expense. Unless you have a dilithium powered replicator.
- phatskat 1mo agoI have a handful of mugs that I've had for decades at this point, a couple even from my parents kitchen that they used some 30 years and probably before then. And then there's thrift store mugs - sure they were almost certainly trucked to _somewhere_ a long time ago.
