Starbucks is one of the few major corporations in the United States that wants to address their impact on the earth. The corporation has set "green" standards for their opening stores and products. By 2015 starbucks wants to make all of their cups 100% recyclable. They have recently done a study in New York where they realized that their cups are similar enough to cardboard that they could be recycled as it. Starbucks is taking these measures because they have realized that the future of Starbucks coffee depends on a grade of coffee bean that is becoming harder to find in South America because of climate change. Because of this, they want to encourage people to recycle and become more aware of the possible impacts that climate change could have on people's daily lives if nothing is done to combat it.
ReplyDeleteThe goal is to make all the Starbucks company's cups either 100% reusable or recyclable. How many Starbucks stores do you see when traveling either by car or foot? Coffee is very popular here therefore many people come to Starbucks to get a nice rich cup of coffee. From year to year there have been many different things that are trying to help out our environment they talk about front door recycling and more.These are just little ways that can help our earth. In New York City there was a 2010 cup recycling pilot. This was trying to promote the recycling of the Starbucks cups. Starbucks produces 500 billion of the paper and plastic cups per year. About 80% of their cups walk out of the door with their customers.If these Starbucks cups keep piling up everywhere(to to mention all the other trash) our earth is going to have even more problems than it already have. So, we have to take care of the earth even if it means putting a cup in a different container.
ReplyDeleteStarbucks wants to achieve a goal to make their cups 100% recyclable in order to help the environment. To achieve this, they create a cup that will be 100% recyclable by 2012 and have 25% of the cups in their stores be reusable. They also want to use ethical sourcing by buying and serving 100% grown and ethically traded coffee. They can achieve this as well by purchasing 100% of their coffee through ethical sourcing practices and after wards, invest in a better future for farmers and their communities by nearly doubling funding to organizations that provide farmer loans from $12.5 to $20 million dollars. However, there are climate problems in South America, where the coffee is being exported from, and are encouraging other people to reuse and recycle in order to change this and combat this situation.
ReplyDeleteStarbucks is partnered with the envoirnmental defense fund to reduce the impact of cups. Since Starbucks is one of the most visited coffe shops in america there are going through alot of paper cups, which most arent being recyled. There goal is by 2015 100% of their cups will be reuasable and recyclable. " Our planet is our earth", an anonymous lady in the video said. If people that go to Starbuck's daily don't start taking action in recycling who knows what our Earth will become. These cups are a huge emviornmental liability, people feel like they are apart of the problem so they want to help solve it. In New York City there were 10 areas were cups could be recycled, this was done to help advertise recycling Starbucks cups. Now everytime i go to starbucks I can make sure to recycle my cup that I used, because one cup out of a billion is better then nothing.

From this reason is why, they want to make their cups recycable and want people to start recycling
ReplyDeleteStarbucks is virtually one of the most powerful companies on our planet. THe 21st century runs on coffee and Starbucks has been supplying this necessity for nearly 40 years. Unfortunately they also serve their delicious drink in cups that make up 4 billion of the 500 billion paper and plastic cups per year. Their goal is to make their cups 100% recyclable. they have also made new plans for their stores. They recently announced all their stores would be water efficient, use 25% less water, and use local materials. 80% of their cups leave their stores. They experimented in New York by recycling the consumed cups and turning them into cardboard. The next day that cardboard was sent right back to New York City. As a student, I too can recycle and be conscious about my consumption of resources and production of waste.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people go to Starbucks everyday and many cups are used to serve these people. Starbucks produces 500 billion of the paper and plastic cups per year. Each person has used over a thousand cups in their lifetime. If you take that and multiply it by millions of people, think about how may cups are used.

They are also trying to use localy grown products to prevent trucks from driving to their store and using all that gas.

When Starbucks introduces their new cups, everyone should get one and bring it to Starbucks each time they get coffee.
