Movie Theaters

Who doesn't love going to the movies every now and then? A lot of people go in, get their soda and popcorn, and go find some decent seats. When you walk out everything just gets put in the trash, usually. A few months ago, Cinemark came out with reusable soda cups which are fairly expensive on the first use, but from then until the end of 2011, they're really cheap to take back and refill. My family bought a couple, and they've turned out to be really useful.

Last week when we went to the movies (with our reusable cups) I saw a sign advertising a refillable popcorn tub which worked on a similar principle to the cups. We weren't getting popcorn, so we didn't end up getting one, but I loved the idea, as it makes being more eco-friendly even more rewarding.

The other reusable cups which my family has recently used a lot are from our local gas station. They're fairly large cups for using at their soda dispensers, but we've also used them at Burger King, Subway, Erik's, Raley's, and Boudin's, as well as using them at home, so they've been really useful too.
