Očistimo Slovenijo

[kuhano vino = mulled wine]
Every December there are several tens of stalls in Ljubljana.
One stall uses at least 500 plastic cups each day.
This means 750,000 plastic cups in a month.

How many plastic cups do we use in Ljubljana?
If we placed them in a line
it would be much longer than the Ljubljana ring-road.
In two hours, we managed to save 300 plastic cups at a single stall.

How long does it take for a plastic cup to decompose?
Id say several years, off the top of my head
Yes.
Five to ten years, but Im not really sure.
Fifty years.
It takes 400 years for a plastic cup to decompose!

But we can use a mug over and over again. Think about it. Lets clean up Slovenia in a day!
