It is a PR thing. If Starbucks was really doing something to reduce waste I would applaud it, even if it was minor in the scheme of things. I'm a naturalist at heart, any time private industry reduces waste voluntarily I love it. I just don't like government mandating it.
You're absolutely right about not attacking the real sources. I hate how our federal government seems driven to stifle our economy in the sake of environmentalism, while supporting free trade with countries that trash the environment.

It's all a PR stunt thing catering to the PC crowd. They never attack the real sources of all these scares, they just play these games to make themselves look like environmental heroes.
