BYOC.

It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy. Since summer is synonymous with pool parties, campfire cookouts and backyard bbq’s, you might agree that the smell from a grill can spark up nostalgia. Keep the memories clean and green by minimizing the disposables at your next function. Whether you’re throwing or going to the next bash, BYOC: bring your own cup. Toting your own punch/wine/beer/iced tea sized cup will help you remember which one is yours, and cut back on waste. Who knows? You might even start a trend, which is always cool.
