The BlogPaws2015 pet blogger's conference will take place in Nashville, TN next week and I'm so excited! This will be my second BlogPaws conference. Even more exciting is the fact that BlogPaws has decided to make this year's conference a Zero Waste Initiative, saying NO to excess paper and plastic!

| I like that you're trying to be less wasteful than you usually are Mom! |
Conferences, seminars, and expos create a ton of paper and plastic waste with programs, product literature, paper cups, plastic bottles, and more. I've been thinking about what I can do to contribute, in some small way, to BlogPaws' Zero Waste goal.

| I endeavor to drink my many cups of tea each day out of my new reusable cup at the conference. |
At Starbucks I recently came across these reusable plastic cups. They look like the regular Starbucks paper to-go cups but they're reusable, so for two bucks I bought one to take with me to the conference. I like that my beverage doesn't get that funny taste the way it does with aluminum and other plastic containers. That's the main reason I've always gone for the paper cups, you don't get weird taste, although you do get the waste.

| My Starbucks reusable cup should last several months, if I don't put it in the dish washer |
My husband is betting on me losing the cup long before the conference ends. Ye of little faith!
Who's joining us in Nashville next week? Anyone bringing their own items to help reduce waste? Please leave us a comment, we always want to hear your thoughts!
THIS IS THE FRIDAY PET PARADE BLOG HOP!!
