Ecologue

Time once again for our Question of the Week! This week we will accept “entries” (on social media only) until 8 pm today and will randomly select two winners to each receive a Beavers Reuse mug!

Question of the Week

The Coffee Cup Coup is a campaign to overthrow the tyranny of the disposable cup (i.e. use durable mugs vs. disposables for coffee purchases on campus). If you want to join the movement and be entered to win a mug, fill in the blank in the sentence below and post it as your Facebook status, tweet it on Twitter, and/or gram it on Instagram by 8:00 pm tonight.

I am joining the ‪#‎BeaverNation ‪#‎CoffeeCupCoup because _____.

Details: We will randomly select two winners based on those who use the hashtag #CoffeeCupCoup along with a legit reason for participating and posts it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (not here on the blog) by 8:00 pm PST tonight. Multiple posts on the same social media platform will only be entered once, but if you post on multiple platforms, each will count as an entry (i.e. increase your chances of winning). Good luck!

Winners

Congrats to Brandon Trelstad and Dann Cutter for being randomly selected among all the entries!

I am joining the ‪#‎BeaverNation‬ ‪#‎CoffeeCupCoup‬ for several reasons. First, if I win, I will have another reusable coffee cup, requiring me to wash the existing fleet less often. Second, I have collected one of every style of reusable coffee cup offered from the OSU Sustainability Office, Oregon State University Campus Recycling, and OSU Student Sustainability Initiative over the years. And finally, it’s just a cool thing to do. -Brandon Trelstad (Facebook)

I am joining the #BeaverNation #CoffeeCupCoup because – save the cup, save the world! -Dann Cutter (Twitter)

I am joining the ‪#‎BeaverNation‬ ‪#‎CoffeeCupCoup‬ because there is too much waste in this world and I don’t want to add any more to it. -Taryn Cailene Lowes (Twitter and Facebook)

I’m joining the #BeaverNation #coffeecupcoup for me= #teacupcoup because I believe in doing everything possible to benefit our planet. -Valeria Ursu (Twitter)

I am joining the ‪#‎BeaverNation‬ ‪#‎CoffeeCupCoup‬ because I will be loved forever by Mother Nature and all her fruitful plants and majestic animals. Oh and I get 20 cents off every coffee purchase…. -Kelsey Farquhar (Facebook)

Thank you to everyone who has or will join the movement!
