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.

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.

Not surprising now that I think about it. It's actually very impressive that our percentage of waste is so low. Funny how you never hear about that when communities are wanting to ban plastic bags at grocery stores etc.
