If you're drinking coffee right now, you're contributing to 1.35 million tons of waste each year. To help clear your conscience, Huskee Cup is repurposing those husks into a beautiful vessel for your morning cup of joe.

They currently offer 30 different types of organic seeds, ranging from Greek Oregano to Oak Leaf Lettuce, or you can use a variety of your own.
