Hi Jill, I used Starbucks as one of the companies I wrote about in this week's written assignment. While it's nice to treat myself to go out and get coffee sometimes, I barely ever do because, aside from the price, I hate the waste that these places produce. Think about how many people Starbucks serves a day worldwide, and the majority of those cups are going to be thrown away. Now, they do have reusable cups that you can bring in to be filled, but many people, myself included, don't remember to do that. Or it's such a spontaneous trip to the coffee shop, that you can't always think ahead to have your reusable cup with you.

When these plastics gradually break down, they create micro-plastics that may be ingested by animals, and chemicals that may be toxic to certain animals including us. These disposable cups are usually made from virgin paper, meaning that trees must be cut down to produce something that is only used for the amount of time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.

(2016, June 21). When you finish your double-double, don't toss your cup in the recycling bin, I think that Tim Horton’s should change up their packaging by eliminating the plastic and wax they placed on their cups and making it environmentally friendly.
