Did you know that the average American generates about 4.9 pounds of trash every day? Or that only 9% of plastic waste ever produced has been recycled? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the statistics, but here’s the good news: small actions, like choosing a reusable coffee cup, can lead to big changes.

At sip, we believe in the ripple effect—how one small, mindful choice can inspire others and create meaningful impact.

Why Small Acts Matter

Every time you swap a disposable cup for a reusable one, you:

• Prevent Waste: Avoid contributing to the 50 billion disposable cups used annually in the U.S.
• Reduce Carbon Emissions: Manufacturing single-use cups requires energy and fossil fuels. Reusables drastically cut that footprint.
• Inspire Others: Did you know that seeing someone else using a reusable cup increases the likelihood others will follow suit? And with the help of social media, your small act can inspire so many.

The Ripple Effect in Action

• One Person: Bringing a reusable cup every day saves approximately 23 pounds of plastic waste per year.
• One Community: If 1,000 people made the switch, that’s over 11 tons of plastic waste saved annually.

Making small, consistent choices isn’t just powerful—it’s contagious. Start your ripple with sip and inspire a wave of change.
