Hello and welcome to Six Minute English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Rob.
Now Rob, we've talked before on this program about our love of coffee.
Oh yes indeed, I couldn't function without it.
But have you ever thought about the environmental consequences of all those disposable coffee cups?
Oh yes indeed, I always carry a reusable cup with me, so I don't have to throw one away.
So if a disposable cup is one you throw away, a reusable one is one that you can use again.
And again, yes, there's a big problem with disposable cups, in that many of them can't be recycled,
so there's a lot of waste for something we only use for a short time.
What are the big coffee shop chains doing about this problem?
We'll find out a little bit more shortly, but first a quiz for you.
Which country drinks the most coffee per capita?
So not the total amount of coffee, but the average per person.
Is it A, Japan, B, Kenya or C, Finland?
What do you think Rob?
Oh tricky.
Now I don't think the Japanese are big coffee drinkers and I know they produce a lot of coffee in Kenya.
I'm surprised the USA is on the list, but I'm going to go for Finland,
