Starbucks reboots stalled efforts to remove plastic cups from the equation. Starting tomorrow gives 10 cents off + 25 Stars for reusables.

If they don't change the Stars redemption rates, that means they are going to be giving out more free drinks as you gain Stars for purchases as well. A free drink is 150 Stars.

This program is not available through the drive thru, but if you're using the drive thru at Starbucks, you're already doing it wrong.

If only there were some way to make cups out of renewable paper... -- nm - Ender Apr 21, 16:35 4
- I do like to be bribed to do the right thing though. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 17:08
- paper recycling centers don't want dirty, or even wet stuff, don't want coffee cups because they usually come with nasty used napkins, food wrappers -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 16:39 2
  - Who said anything about recycling them? It will take them like 2 weeks to break down in a landfill. -- nm - Ender Apr 21, 17:34
  - Also, many paper cups have plastic or wax linings (cans too) -- nm - zork Apr 21, 16:48
what is the rate exchange for star points compared to Qale points? (and since I'm in negative territory, what kind of drink do I owe you) -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 16:28 1
- You’re at -77 Qale Points so that’s like 1/3 of a drink? -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 17:06
