Encourage Starbucks: Count Your Cups!

Starbucks has made some impressive commitments to reducing the environmental impact of their packaging, but without a clear tracking system its difficult to see the progress being made.
The company has promised to serve a quarter of its drinks in reusable cups in an effort to reduce paper and plastic waste, but doesn't keep track of how many costumers actually use them and rarely promotes the ceramic cups and travel mugs for sale in the store.
The goals that Starbucks is working towards are great and we would love to be able to track their progress. The coffee chain is one of the most popular and well-known, giving them an opportunity to make a change in the industry by setting a eco-friendly example.
Let Starbucks' President and CEO Howard Schultz know that you appreciate the effort that the company is making and that they have an excellent opportunity to be an eco-friendly leader in the coffee shop industry.
The recycling goals that Starbucks has committed to are great ways to reduce your environmental impact, but I believe promoting reusable mugs and travelling cups is also important. Starbucks should track how many customers choose to use reusable packaging and make it easier to use ceramic mugs while in the store.

I urge you to make Starbucks a leader in protecting our planet.
