All else being equal, I definitely go local. But "all else" is rarely equal. So I'm often stuck wondering how to weight locally made vs. some other environmental concern.

i would consider these for the roma – a cool offering! but i don’t know if it’s practical w/o a lid and without being closer to 16oz, which is our most common drink order size. do you have a favorite to go cup?

No lids with Graham’s cup. This one is also cool, has a lid and is 16 oz. BUT you still have to be mindful when carrying. Consider it like a paper cup with a lid, while Graham’s is like a smaller paper cup w/o a lid. Both fab!

[...] With thanks to Kelly Mikler of Sole Technology for the tip (Kelly was, in turn, inspired to mention the I Am Not A Paper Cup by Graham Hill of Treehugger’s rival eco-arch mug, the famous We Are Happy to Serve You). [...]

my friend has that cup, ha ha. and i’m just lovin the idea about not buying anything at all. these guys FREEGANS, that’s what they do – find perfectly fine food in trash bins, don’t use money in any way, never buy anything… but who could do that?

Yes the ceramic version of this cup is quite cool and I have seen them at stores here in New York, and had no idea that Graham Hill was behind them! I always thought that they were so clever. And as someone living in the city and about to move, I do want to buy one now to take with me to remind me of my time living in NYC! So Waylon, how about having a tea out of the cup at a friend’s?! Which leads me to what I’d call 1a. (Love the #1-6 too) Let’s add, borrowing and sharing! It’s especially easy for things we don’t use often. And, it’s a good way to get to know your neighbors and re-gain that sense of community that I sometimes feel we’re losing.

Love the #1-6. It’s a much-needed reminder, that buying lots of green stuff to fill that gaping, guilty hole doesn’t actually do the environment any good.

I love re-using old stuff, especially clothing. Taking the time to make something one-of-a-kind makes my life seem more interesting…funny how the same old, same old does that when I actually pay attention to it.

That thing is pretty freaking sweet. Like you, I have way too many coffee mugs, but then again, I know plenty of people who don’t and who have birthdays!
