"Eco" now just means "not actively doing the planet any specific harm!"
Nothing wrong with this mug. Let’s just get that out of the way first. It’s a perfectly OK, dishwasher-safe, double-walled, 12-ounce ceramic travel mug. It’ll do just fine to keep your coffee warm, or as a gift to the hopeless caffiend in your life.
But “eco”? Really? Is that all it takes to for a product to be “eco”, that you can use it for a while? Wow, that makes me feel much better about my role in saving the Earth. Turns out almost all my dishes are “eco”. And my furniture, and almost all of the rest of my belongings: my couch, my desk, my floors, my walls… I re-use them all every single day. Even my underwear is “eco” because I don’t throw it away after I use it (unless it’s been a particularly bad day). Take that, global warming!
OK, obviously, this mug is better for Mother Gaea than using a new paper cup every morning. But let’s not dislocate our shoulders patting ourselves on the back about it. If drinking your coffee from the same ceramic mug is the act of an eco-warrior, my wingnut uncle might just switch to Styrofoam out of spite.
