WHY WE ARE CHANGING TO THESE ITEMS IN THE VBH CAFE

1. COST• In 12 months VBH gave away 28,939 32oz Styrofoam

cups and 67,572 20oz cups. The cost of the 32oz cups was $1,446.95 and $2,702.88 for the 20oz cups.At these cost we could buy 624 - 32oz plastic tumblers and 1,434 - 20oz plastic tumbles.

2. TO BECOME MORE ENVIROMENTLY RESPONSIBLE.• It takes Styrofoam: 1+ million years to decompose.

3. DEVELOP MORE SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES.

• Sustainable practices are practices that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
