I like its rubbery red outer coat, it is very smooth and not slippery at all, the lid is watertight, so nothing spills. The only drawback I found so far is that the lid falls on my nose and I have to keep it at bay with index finger which is a bit deliberate and non elegant, Môn chaton, but… never mind!
The most important thing is I don’t have to waste any more cups and plastic water bottles EVER. I think I have to thank my parents who brought me up this way, but I always have been environmentally conscious. Since I was as little as three, I would never drop any litter on the streets (thanks God, Chelyabinsk have always been a bin paradise, so to say). Later on I really took this topic to the heart and never ceased preaching about recycling or saving paper, water etc. Although I am fully aware that most of it doesn’t make any difference I believe that making people aware at least is already very good. (I am also aware that by doing my little bit here and there doesn’t count because the climate change was and is induced by heavy industries and big money. Will they ever change the way they conduct business? Fat chance. What they will do or are doing right now – employ a team of PR specialists who come up with some image-enhancing solutions.)
Sometimes I wonder if all this buzz around environment is not just some populist trick in the eve of different elections or market opportunity (the whole recycling industry is thriving and making money for someone). There are many questions and the answers are either hard to dig out or just too heartbreaking to accept.
It was meant to be very light-hearted post, maybe even with a bit of luck quite funny, and I am rereading it now and it is very sad. And not about coffee at all.
Well, this is what I feel.
