    Starbucks plans to phase out plastic straws by 2020, making it one of the largest retailers to commit to the no-straw movement. Your drink will come with a recyclable lid, with sort of a sipping spout, or you'll use biodegradable straws made from environmentally friendly materials.
    The coffee chain giant with more than 28, 000 stores hands out at least a billion straws a year, but on Monday the company said “no more,” The Washington Post reported.

    Lol. If they really wanted to be more environmentally friendly maybe they should give more than a ridiculous 10 cent discount for bringing your own mug.

    I guess it's fine and they're doing their part. But seems like it's just a PR move. A billion plastic straws probably doesn't even fill up a decent size living room.
    And it's not like it's going to have any significant financial impact on them.

    It is just a pr move. They could use only biodegradable plastics but that would cost them more and that, they have shareholders to appease.

    It's almost always a pr move and/or a money saving move.

    Reminds me of most hotels now that have a request notice in the bathroom asking to help the environment by reusing towels.

    Good ole Starbucks. Plantations and slavery are ay-okay in the states so long as the slaves aren't domestic and since those slaves can't be pandered to, Politicians don't give a either.

    When you brag about "fair-trade" sourced coffee to show the world how ethical a company you are and over 90% of your coffee isn't fair-trade certified and you pay a fat wad less than the going rate your impoverished coffee growers get from everyone else, you're a company and a sham. Not my fault they say one thing and are doing the complete opposite.

    Have you never purchased a fast food/convenience store hot coffee in the last 30 years?

    I don't either. Don't wear Nike shoes or support Apple in any way. That's my "I'm a good person, here's a personal boycott" list.

    I usually reuse my towel at least once. Back in the day, the room I was in didn't have any extra tp. I didn't discover this until I needed it.

    So...they probably had to throw away a hand towel the next day.
