A Plastic Ocean

[Catherine]

Starbucks could be a leader in this. They could produce a special 100% recyclable cup. The planet would thank them. People can use their own mugs some of the time, but you can't always carry a mug with you.  When you look at what Starbucks charges for mugs and coffee they should give us something free.

Single use water bottles are another big problem. If I end up with one, I refill it and use it over and over. I try to carry a proper refillable bottle at all times. I drink tap water.

Anything that we use just once is a problem for the planet. It is worse when people don't bother to recycle it.  I wish we could make everyone watch A Plastic Ocean. They don't want to know, but they should have to know. Just because they don't care doesn't mean they will escape the consequences of their self centred behavior. They will be the first to complain.
