16 billion paper cups are used for coffee every single year, which leads to 6.5 million trees cut down, 4 billion gallons of water going to waste, and enough energy to power 54,000 homes for a year also goes to waste.
But all is not lost, you can keep your conscience and indulge it too! It’s easy - just bring your own mug (BYOM), and there are some dank incentives for taking that little bit of effort.
Here’s a list of 11 coffee shops in Mumbai that let you bring your own mug.
