How else are we supposed to keep our cold beverages icy all day? Or our hot ones--- who am I kidding, we keep it icy even when it's icy outside.
It's like they don't care about us *sigh* ...okay, I'm overreacting about them not caring. Clearly they care: about the environment. I get it. It just hurts when we lose something we love so much.
According to Dunkin' and Patch.com: "The company said it replacing all foam cups with new double-walled paper cups. The double-walled cup is made with paperboard certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard and will come in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes."
When can we expect the change to take place? Well, it's already starting to happen.
"We are on target to meet our goal and are projected to have over 70 percent of our system converted by the end of 2019," a spokesperson for the company, said in a statement.
