092: Reusable cups: form and function, with Vince Dickson, co-creator of HUNU

After finding out that over 165 million single-use cups end up in landfills every day, Vince Dickson and Megan Williams went looking for a reusable alternative that was convenient and easy to carry around all day, every day. They couldn't find one so they created HUNU, a reusable cup that folds down small enough to fit into even the tightest pockets.  Today's Sponsor: Wondrium offers documentaries, series, lessons, how-to's, and more, on any topic you can imagine.
