This should be made available around the world ASAP!

This is f*****g amazing

I love this idea, but not sure tree seeds are practical. Perhaps wildflower seeds would be better. Or even just something healthy for soil

This is SO great!!

Cute! But not reduce or reuse! Why not just provide reusable cups. You can dress up a disposable cup however you like. Its still disposable!

Great idea!!!!! But most people are way too lazy. Sad, but true.

Genetically modified Seeds? Hybrid Seeds? Natural Seeds?

Very thoughtful conservationist idea. My main concern would be GMO seeds or chemicals leeching into coffee or environment.

This is great! When will they be here in Texas?

What happens IF these cups are disposed of in the ocean or lakes or large bodies of water? Will they deposit ‘trees’ to grow then? It’s a great idea though!

This is great. What seeds are suitable for this?

This is a genius idea. Need to develop for Texas

Love the concept - the significant challenge is to change consumer behavior. How will Reduce Reuse Grow influence consumer behavior to not simply throw the cups in trash or recycle bins defeating their intended purpose? If they end up in landfills, mingled & buried under tons of trash, they will not decompose as stated, nor will they germinate and produce flowers or trees as stated. If they can solve for that in a significant and meaningful way - the product has a chance.

Ok sorry, the biodegrable cup idea of course is very good, but the seed part not so much. You will end up with trees growing where people do not want them and them getting cut down anyway.

Wow, that's brilliant! Brilliant marketing that is. These businesses taking advantage of growing antipathy to single use by promoting *more* single use are taking chutzpah to truly impressive levels. "Biodegradable" plastic bags that don't biodegrade, "non-plastic" plastics made from hippie-sounding plant materials, and now cups that tell people they're saving the planet by littering. Very clever marketing, but to think there's any net benefit to the planet is ridiculous. There are places in the world where it makes sense to plant trees from seed, and there are places where people walk around drinking $6 lattes from disposable cups, but these places are *nowhere* near each-other. And until you see tribesman in Borneo popping into Starbucks to spend a days wage on a nice frothy cappuccino, or until the SF Parks Department issues a press release requesting people to please indiscriminately plant tree seeds in the city's green spaces that will continue to be the case.

This news needs to be shared internationally in a hurry

Awesome. will there be trees in out landfills now or do we plant these? Either way it’s a great idea and glad someone thought of this

WOW YES!! Please bring these to Oklahoma!!

That is cool...but I would like to see diversity of the seed. Trees don't always work in all locations the cups may end up, but flowers do. Something like Sunflowers, Milk Weed, Coneflowers, Black Eyed Susans, etc. would be amazing!

I also think this is a great idea, now for the but. How many people do you think will take the time to plant these? How would these cups react in the trash? Do you think maybe they could work in our land fills because I have a feeling that is where most of them will end up. If they could bloom there then Dam this would be an even better idea.

I'm sure there are good qualities to this idea, but there are some others that may not work so well. I often pick up trash, on beaches, along roads in my neighborhood, and many such cups end up in ditches along the roadside. This would be a bad place for trees to sprout up in, as ditches are meant to shed water. Something to think about. If people took their cups and planted them, then that might be good, but really many people don't want their yard full of trees, and most do not have an extra lot that they want to plant trees in, and if they did, they probably would do it with seedlings of preferred trees rather than planting used coffee cups. Biodegradable is great, but I'm thinking the seeds aren't so great. And would these cups be shipped to areas where the seeds would then be an introduced and possibly invasive species to that area, vs indigenous ones? And how could you really control that at all?

Awesome. Coffee grounds themselves are great for compost and help your plants to be more vibrant, but using a coffee cup like this makes a lot of sense. More environmentally friendly and efficient.

love it to peices, as long as they are careful to propogate local species.

I think it's GENIUS!

Omg so amazing 17484774747/10

Awesome idea, bring it to Hawaii!!!

Since you asked ... gimmick. At best, cups will be composted with intentional effort to reduce seed sprouting / weeds. More likely, landfill

Is there food for the seeds In the cup fabric?

What an idea. But the lazy asses won't pick them up & plant. Just throw on streets, hope they work then too.

The links to support this great idea are above the video clip. I'm going!

won't the high heat of the coffee kill the sees?

Awesome

Love the idea, more beauty for Mother Earth.

Yes its a good idea, but what about more coffee shops going back to the old-fashioned crockery cups and saucers? Why disposable at all?

I have been a Girl Scout for 32 years and I think this is absolutely awesome. I don't even drink coffee but I love the idea. I hope youdon'

what kind of trees?

Sounds great, but what about neg impact of introducing non-native species into ecosystems where these plants may be considered 'invasive'?

I think this is a great idea, especially if the seeds are hemp seeds.

I would love to see heritage seed and native plants! Great concept!

Ohio Please!!!

Hope they r used everywhere ASAP

Fantastic idea. Maybe use them for burn areas too. Love the ca poppies.

Good innovation.
