Start your morning with a healthy dose of reality—and a brilliantly engineered visual demonstration. The UPG Climate Change Mug isn't just your average coffee cup; it's a dynamic, heat-activated look at the fragility of our planet's coastlines.
Simply pour in your favorite hot tea or coffee and watch as the polar ice caps melt right before your eyes. As the ceramic warms up, global sea levels rise, radically redrawing the world map—Florida dissolves into the ocean, and Central America all but vanishes. It’s a striking, interactive visual that sparks important conversations whether you're taking a break in the office or relaxing at home.

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"As astrophotographers, we spend our nights staring out at cold, uninhabitable worlds. It really drives home how rare, beautiful, and delicate our own little blue marble actually is. This mug is a fantastic conversation starter and a daily reminder to protect the only planet we've got. Plus, watching the map physically change with your morning coffee is an undeniably clever piece of novelty engineering."
