Caution: Remove before Sipping

It's a cold afternoon in late fall, you and your friends have been out window shopping all afternoon and decide to pop into the local coffee shop to grab a warm cup of delight. As the barista hands you your drink and you take that first sip, feeling the hot liquid dance on your tongue then slide down your throat like a wave of warmth and comfort, little are you thinking about the lid particles breaking down with every sip, but its true. Most of us know not to leave our disposable watter bottles in the car, especially in the summer because the heat causes the chemicals from the plastic to leach more quickly into our water. So why would it be any different with our coffee lids? Its not. Every time the heat from your drink comes in contact with the lid, the lid deteriorates a little more and the leached chemicals then go into you and your system, causing other health issues down the road.

I suggest doing like I did, and buy a ceramic travel mug and taking that wherever you go, not only is it greener for the environment, your drink will stay warmer, taste better, and you won't get the unwanted leaching from your cup, or just pop the lid off before you drink.
