who killed the electric coffeepot?

Can anyone hazard an informed guess about how the carbon cost of drinking coffee out of a paper cup every day stacks up against the cost of, say, breaking a ceramic mug once a year?

Purely hypothetically, of course.

Hah.

For what it's worth, I use this mug (http://www.gocontigo.com/catalog-product-detail;catalogproducts,cdf58f9d3e66b170ae56fcdafcb9b2f1.html) and I love it so much I bought a second one. It's available at Target. Stainless steel inside, easy to open and close with one hand, seals marvelously, easy to use carabiner handle that clips onto everything in the world. Perfect. Also, I haven't broken it! Them!

!!?! CARABINER HANDLE !??!?!

Yes. And it's well-designed. I poke the handle at something and suddenly the mug is hanging off of it.

Are you anti-pink? I may just have a spare...

Pink is a lovely color. Ellen will complain that it doesn't go with my eyes, but on the other hand people can hardly claim that they didn't see me in the road.
