\ud83d\udca1 What to Do
\nEncourage students to bring and use their own reusable cups instead of disposable foam or paper cups.\u2028 Activities can include:
\nTracking cup use for one week with a class chart
\nPoster-making or PSA videos promoting the habit
\nDesigning their own reusable cup art or slogan
\nHosting a \u201cNo Disposable Cup\u201d challenge day at school<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf0d Why It Matters
\nDisposable cups might seem harmless, but they come at a big cost:
\nBillions of cups are thrown away each year after just one use
\nMost are not recyclable due to plastic linings or foam materials
\nThey contribute to landfill overflow, ocean pollution, and energy waste
\nBy using a personal cup, each student can prevent hundreds of disposable cups from being used each year \u2014 saving trees, reducing emissions, and cutting plastic waste.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd2c The Science Behind It
\nPaper cups are lined with plastic, making them nearly impossible to recycle
\nFoam cups (made of polystyrene) take centuries to break down and release harmful microplastics into the environment
\nProducing a single disposable cup uses water, trees, fossil fuels, and energy, which are wasted after one use
\nReusable cups, when used consistently, offset their production impact within 10\u201320 uses<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcda Learning Objectives
\nStudents will:
\nUnderstand the environmental impact of disposable products
\nLearn how small behavior changes can lead to system-wide improvements
\nGain experience in advocacy, communication, and sustainability habits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
