Big cups, opaque cups, yesterday's cups, coffee cups, oval cups, tea cups, tiny cups, walk into any Goodwill or Salvation Army and there is an abundance of cups, whole sets of cups, partial sets of cups, and the lone rangers of cups lining the back shelves. Also, in almost everyone's house in America you will find at least one set of cups, or more, retired in a back closet. There are more sets of cups than there are people to drink out of them. Marketers trick the consumer into believing they need cups for summer, cups for dinner, cups for holidays, cups for juice, and so on. We have reached a point where there is just too much, and it doesn't just obtain to cups. Take a stand and refuse to be the cup-consumed consumer. Resist the urge, say no to cups, however festive or complimentary the cups may be, especially the disposable kind. Use what you already have. Get some punch and party with the cups you've got. Instead of purchasing your happiness, drink to it, it's what's inside that counts!
