Save P5 and save the trees

Here's a good way to save money while making a small contribution towards environmental sustainability. If you go to Starbucks every now and then and if you have a Starbucks tumbler (I reckon most people do since it's one of the most popular and easiest gifts to give during Christmas), simply bring your tumbler the next time you visit Starbucks to buy a drink and you will get a P5 discount.

Not only will you be saving money, you will also help reduce the usage of paper cups. With one tree equal to about 2000 paper cups, using your tumbler will help reduce the number of paper cups used and thus, in a small way, reduce the number of trees that are cut down to create these cups.

I now need to check if other coffee shops like Figaro have a similar set-up. But even if they don't, I guess it's good practice to bring your own tumbler and have the coffee shop server your coffee using your tumbler.
