PFT #51 - Personal Finance Tip of the Week: The Ball Aluminum Cups and the Positive Impact on the Environment

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week’s topic is about the Ball Corporation’s new aluminum cups. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve all seen the classic Ball jars with that thick glass and metal top for canning vegetables - in my case, I use them as drinking glasses. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the world evolves so has Ball and they've recently announced the aluminum drinking cup that can replace the plastic solo type cups. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They come with ample sizes to drink from, they are more sturdy and well insulated to keep your beverage cool and it is a much more appealing drinking experience. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now here’s the good stuff: 20 billion plastic cups are used per year and 93% end up in landfills; however, 75% of all aluminum is recycled and is the most valuable commodity in the recycle bin. So as they are producing more aluminum cups less plastic will be used </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As far as the upfront cost goes, you’ll save triple the amount to that of the aluminum cup; however, once you reuse each cup just four times you’ll save be saving money </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In my humble opinion, this is a no-brainer product that just about everyone can take advantage of and the best part is that has a positive impact on the environment </span></p> <p>Ball Aluminum Cups</p> <p> https://www.ball.com/aluminumcups/where-to-buy?gclid=cj0kcqia15ynbhdtarisagnwe0woqhymlgw7d8mk-j4sh4cnmvtqs8ddv818zllb3jrd97sisyx-v08aajesealw_wcb</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website  </span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.somethingonmymind.net/</span></p> <p>Merchandise</p> <p>https://www.somethingonmymind.net/shop</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Social Media </span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/somm.podcast/</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChec5qcZBcGkIh
