What is the Stanley Cup?
Basically, the Stanley cup is a thermal cup made of stainless steel. In this way, it is able to keep hot or cold drinks at their temperatures for hours. In the beginning, it was known among hikers and campers, but it became very popular when it was discovered by brewers. Now, according to some people, this is an item that cannot be missing from a Sunday barbecue.
This is because it brings a certain comfort to whoever wears it, in addition to a certain social status due to its value. Furthermore, the advantages can be much deeper, especially when we talk about the good it can bring to the environment. Making use of reusable bottles or cups contributes to an extremely important process for the health of our planet: putting aside the exaggerated consumption of disposables.
Stanley cup benefits for the planet
As they are very durable and come with a lifetime warranty against factory defects, these cups do a lot of good for the environment. In this case, they replace plastic containers that can harm places like beaches, trails and lakes, putting the health of several animals that live in these spaces at risk.
On the other hand, some environmental activists also point to the problems that Stanley cups pose. First, the fact that they are manufactured in China and flown into the country requires burning fuel, which also harms the planet. Second, care must be taken not to use them only as a social status symbol.
