The K Cups are nice to use to make single serve coffee without the need to make a big pot of coffee and not drink it all.
But those K-Cups are made of plastic and could take thousands of years to decompose and could fill up the landfill and it uses a lot of oil to make the plastic.
So that would mean the K-Cups while nice to use and are good coffee are bad for the environment.
But it's likely gonna take many years of using the K-Cups before it becomes a huge problem.
K-Cups are not the only bad thing for the environment that gets thrown in landfills because there's other plastics and we have to think about the millions of disposable diapers that both adults and babies use on a daily basis that also get thrown in the landfill.
The disposable diapers take up much more space in the landfill than those small K-Cups ever will so it would take 10,000 times more K-Cups in the landfill to fill the same amount of space that disposable diapers fill up the landfill with.
