I did research about reusable cup programs because I thought reusing things again can be one of the most effective solutions to reduce the amount of plastic getting into the environment. I did my internship with the EPA region 10 and assisted the Trash Free Waters Program. I found some data about the reusable cup program implemented in Japan and Germany and created a report, which will be helpful for stadiums in Seattle to make decision the about reusable cup program.
