I love a few things: reusing useful things, and coffee being two of them that are high on my list. Wednesday, April 22 is Earth Day and Starbucks Canada wants you to help reduce the waste of all those paper coffee cups by using one of their cool reusable, recyclable ones. (We love their reusable cups at our house! They’re strong, but lightweight, and they look just like a regular Starbucks coffee cup.)

If saving the earth isn’t motivation enough, how about a free beverage?

On April 22, participating Starbucks stores will fill your Starbucks reusable cup with a free brewed coffee or tea!

Maybe this adorable beatbox bird dance video will help convince you:

You can find Starbucks on Twitter and Facebook, and just down the street from my house (and I’ll take a grande half-sweet, non-fat vanilla latte while you’re there, please).

Disclosure: I’ve been compensated to write this post, but as always, the opinions are my own. Coffee is indeed my favourite beverage, Starbucks is legitimately my preferred coffee place, and I do have a weakness for clever beatboxing birds.
