Starbucks serves 4+ billion papers cups a year and most of them cannot be recycled because of the cup's plastic lining gums up machinery at a majority of recycling facilities.

By 2050, our oceans will have more plastic in them than fish -- and Starbucks is part of the problem. 8,000+ cups a minute going into the trash, our streets, waterways, and oceans costing taxpayers and the health of our environment.

In 2008, Starbucks set a bold goal of serving coffee in recyclable cups and increasing the amount of coffee served in reusable cups (from 2%-25%) by 2015 but, they haven't delivered. Starbucks needs to recommit to this goal. We want a #bettercup.
