If we followed their lead it would really help make the University of Derby more eco friendly.

11:04pm on 28 Jun 18 Good idea. Personally I don't think people will bother since it's just 25p. Also, I'm going to assume that he reusable cups are the same prices all across the university of Derby. I've been to markeaton street and Britannia mill campuses and the reusable cup there costs £7.50 I believe it was; somewhere around that. Anyway my point is if we want people to get a reusable cup, then it should be cheaper, as an incentive to not use single use paper/plastic cups
