The disposable is dispensable

Paper cups strewn on the earth
Trampled and tired
Dirty and dull
Their fading label
Wasting away into shreds

Trees are cut down
Landfills pile up
For the short lived life
Of this disposable cup

Thousands of people daily
Line up for this treat
Is it really necessary?
WHY DO WE TREAT THE EARTH LIKE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE GOBBLED UP AND DISCARDED
FOR A FEW MINUTES OF CONVENIENCE?

Take your disposable cup
And your disposable culture too
And replace it with something more sustainable
Would it kill you to use something more than once?
