| A picture of my very own Starbucks reusable cup |
Technically, Starbucks has always been going green. Even from the start of the color of our aprons. But economically, the company has always been about recycling, conserving energy, etc. A few months ago, Starbucks released the $1 reusable cup. Since the release, it has been a hit, especially in the store I work at. The best part is, it's only $1 and it's good for about 30 uses. Some say even more, it was just based on if the cup goes through the dish washer. If not, then you can expect the cup to last even longer than just 30 uses. The cup is made out of good, hard plastic material, and looks exactly like the cup the store uses. The cup allows for cold and hot beverages, but make sure to grab a sleeve if a hot beverage is being filled!
Also, if you have noticed, Starbucks stores now have trash bins with blue colored trash bags. These indicate materials used for recycling. So if you can guess, all the plastic and aluminum materials go in those bins. Each store should also have a "landfill" and "recycle" trash bin.
Perks of using this cup, or any other personal cup when buying drinks from Starbucks? You'll get a 10 cent
personal cup discount!
Yeah, it's just 10 cents, but it will all add up one day. Besides, you're helping save the planet as well! Get yours today!
