I'm envisioning Ikea-esque plastic tumblers that you can reuse. I don’t think he meant buying disposable plastic cups and then throwing them away.

There's a limit to how much damage you should do to make your life easier. Now, if they're recycleable cups... :) Speaking of recycling, I live in NY state and we have a wonderful pasttime called: returning bottles and cans for deposits. I finally decided a couple of months back to stop with this particularly annoying and useless endeavour. We have mandatory curbside recycling, but for my soda bottles and cans, I have to make a special trip and waste a half an hour of my life to get $1 back. I just put them in the recycling bin now.

While this may be convenient, it's hardly responsible. It's pretty wasteful, and it's hardly difficult to wash a glass for reuse. “I also switched to using plastic cups for nearly all beverages.”
