Paper or porcelain?

That’s right. One of the coffee cups there is paper (left) and the other is a reusable version made of porcelain (right).

The Decor Craft Inc. product came in the mail today—an early Christmas gift to myself. I have several weaknesses, and lattes are definitely one of them. The number of paper cups I waste in a given week should be a crime. But not anymore. Not with my new cup.

I know that reusable travel mugs are widely available, but I love the shape and feel of the white paper cups. So when I saw this porcelain version for sale at Uncommon Goods , I sprung at the chance to have my latte and drink it, too. Of course, shopping locally is one way to make your holidays greener. But I’d love to hear about any eco-friendly products on your wish list this season.
