Here's the dirt on Starbucks and the cups

  • It started when I read a post by Jonathan Harris at Super Eco, Recycling: where do the bin contents go?.

    In it, Jonathan mentions that he just discovered that Starbucks cups are not recyclable.

    I was shocked, did some research, and wrote my own post on Tonic News: Starbucks Disposable Cups Are Not Recyclable Yet

    Please tell everyone - your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers - about Starbucks, and this campaign.

    At the very least, we want to send a message to the company that we care about the environment.

    At best, Starbucks will listen to us and make the change to recyclable and/or compostable cups asap.

    Thanks!
