Nevada Day reusable, stainless steel cups available now
Nevada Day, Inc., in partnership with greenUP!, announces the reusable, stainless steel cups are available for purchase prior to The Nevada Day celebration.
The collector cups, made by Klean Kanteen, feature both Nevada Day and greenUP! logos and sell for $15 each. Numerous bars and restaurants give the holder $1 off certain drinks at the event. The list of vendors will be available on the Nevada Day website and in the parade program.
“We are always looking for ways to reduce trash and have a cleaner event,” says Brooke Santina, Nevada Day Executive Director. “The cups are functional, save people money and are great souvenirs, plus they are better for the environment.”
According to Upstream, a non-profit that studies environmental impact, a reusable stainless steel cup used 300 times creates 166 times less carbon pollution and 36 times less waste than single-use plastic cups.
“It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference,” states Donna Walden, President of the greenUP! Board. “This is the 3rd year we’ve partnered in this effort with Nevada Day. It makes a huge difference to the environment and ultimately to the community when we utilize reusable cups.”
The cups are available for purchase at the Nevada Day Store and participating businesses including Arby’s, Cactus Jacks, Cucino Lupo, Great Basin Brewing Company and So Juicy. A small number of cups will be sold in front of the Adams Hub during the Nevada Day parade.
Cups from previous years will be honored for the discount on Nevada Day, which is celebrated on Saturday, Oct. 29 in Carson City.
