Reusable Cups

In New York, it’s inevitable that you’re going to be drinking more coffee maybe than you’re used to, or at least more coffee on the go. But, you will notice that even if you get your coffee to stay, you’ll often get a disposable cup, which is super wasteful. Instead, bring some cups from home and save a lot of waste!

Pizza

New York pizza is legendary, and you can’t come to the city without having a few pies. But, you really need to make sure that after you enjoy your pizza, work to find a recycling can so you can recycle your pizza boxes or else you will make a ton of waste.
