Some great points. A big difference could be made by simply ensuring all paper cups are recycled properly and not thrown in the trash with all the rest of the rubbish. If they are seperated then they are easily compostable or recycleable, it is simply a matter of sorting.

In this sense, i don’t think paper cups are a bad thing providing the waste is dealt with ethically.

If you’re interested in the politics of water, don’t start with Starbucks. Think of how many water filtration and septic systems could have been implemented in 3rd world countries with the trillions of *tax* dollars that our first world countries just handed to bank executives

I don’t get the attraction to starbuks coffee! it is always bitter tasteing and you can buy genuine Kopi Luwak coffee and brew it at home for less than a starbucks mocha! Expresso beans are the cheapest beans to purchase, and how long have they been sitting around before they were used. I say buy online and get fresh roasted beans with no bitter aftertaste everytime!

Well Starbucks coffee is already expensive wouldn’t it be too much if they will put tax on the cup being used?

It is always interesting to go in a coffee shop where we take coffee for getting refreshment. it is alway seen that people don’t follow the instruction which is necessory in order to keep coffee shop neat and clean. To get this aim fulfilled coffee shop owner keeps recycling bin and paper cup in any corner of the shop.

Great points Jeff. I know that where I buy tea, I have a tin I can take back and re-fill. Takes the bag entirely out of the process. Maybe they could do that with coffee too?

I don’t know the chemical composition of the Starbucks cups, but I can tell you that in the seven years I worked for them we were told it was fine to put them in the organics recycling, ie 100% biodegradeable. Many of those cups are not lined with plastic, but with wax or other substances. And it is (or was, when I was there) Starbucks standard procedure to ask “for here or to go” although over 80% was to go, in a new paper cup.
I have a stainless steel Nissan mug that I bought perhaps 15 years ago which will never wear out, and that’s what I use.

re: “And the incessant water use at Starbucks…?”

This is too far. It’s *water* my friend, we’re made of it, we’re surrounded by it, and I can hear it falling from the sky right now as I type. We’re not running out.

Even if you set an example for us by boiling sand and using that in your coffee instead of water, inevitably someone out there who’s “greener” than even you wouldn’t hesitate to start a “Save The Sand Foundation”

Anyway, my point is if you’re honestly interested in saving the earth/environment/mankind; don’t fret over water use at Starbucks. Learn how credit default swaps work. It’s scary, and there are 45 trillion dollars worth of them lurking about silently out there, which is more than the G7 finance ministers could ever “bail out”

If you can solve that problem, I will merrily drink my coffee (sand-based or not) out of whatever cup you want me to, and ride a solar powered unicorn to work.
