Conservation Challenge: Tell Starbucks: Build a Better (Reusable) Cup Program

4 BILLION Starbucks hot cups end up incinerated or in landfill every year. Because all "paper" hot cups are actually lined with plastic they can't be recycled or composted. But ask a Starbucks barista how to dispose of your coffee cup and chances are they'll tell you to recycle it. And some of their in-store bins even say the same thing. This is NOT OK.



If Starbucks really plans to "reduce waste by 50% by 2030" as they say, they need to:


-Be honest with customers about the trash they're helping create


- Truly incentivize use of personal reusable cups, offer ceramic or glass for in-store use, AND design a better cup.


Let's help make this happen by signing the petition calling on @starbucks to "Build a Better (Reusable) Cup" by prominently and consistently promoting, activating, and incentivizing its reusable cup program AT https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-starbucks-build-a-better-reusable-cup-program
