I would love one of these branded by Pearl Jam if possible. These are the best travelers in existence. I can't use anything else now.

The great thing about the way the Boston Tea Party have done this is they use ecocups that they sell for less than $7.50. They make their choice to stand up for our planet affordable and their mugs are great  

Put a $20/30 price tag on and it defeats the purpose and dilutes the message.

I’m going at this from the angle of using this to educate & create change. People who already consider the environmental implications of takeaway cups either have their own mug or don’t takeaway. 

When 1 small chain chooses to ban the use of takeaway cups (and also don’t sell drinks out of plastic bottles but that’s another story) and stops over 70k cups & lids going to landfill in 5 months they had to do something that wouldn’t lose their customers. In the process they’ve, hopefully, educated some people. 

While a great PJ mug might look exactly that, I’m thinking a strong environmental model can be put across in the process. I realise I’m probably a dreamer but I know far too many people who don’t care, I see absurd amounts of stores serve drinks in t/a cups to people who drink in. And I’d infinitely prefer to see pics of PJ reusable mugs fill my insta feed than yet another takeaway cup with a name on that’s heading to landfill.

The Contingo autoseal PJSoul likes is maybe $16. My Contigo Snapseal is less than $13. Neither are $20/30. I don't know how it dilutes the message to have a quality reusable travel mug that actually keeps your hot beverage hot for longer than a half hour.  I would rather pay a few dollars more for something that I would be apt to use.  

Totally. But remember, we're talking about something sold in the 10C store. The markup will be massive. Plus $100 shipping to Canada.

I'd like to get one of those enamel camping mugs they were making a couple years ago... although i remember them being way overpriced...

That’s one of the reasons I included what BTP is doing. They’ve chosen to make no profit because having no cups heading to landfill is more important to them. If a tiny chain can do this so can the giants but they don’t sadly.
