Some harmful, some not (I have no idea how this works). So, if they're going to do it, why not get something to raise a little awareness? I am sure no one would actually turn eco-warrior just because of a mug, but someone might just think twice about throwing that paper in the trashcan. I know that in an ideal world one would shop eco-consciously, but really, it's not going to happen very soon. (P.S. I am not American.)

Also, it was probably made in China, who aren't exactly the kindest people to the environment. Not to mention the detriments of global shipping… Typical American thinking (I'm American too) that we should "increase awareness" by continuing consumption. If you really wanted to help the environment, you'd buy a mug at a thrift store for 50¢. Plus, it'd have the added benefit of helping charity.
