Tell Starbucks: Don't trash our planet with plastic

Add your name to our petition to Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson:

Dear Mr. Johnson,

Starbucks has built an empire off its signature green straws, plastic-lined iconic white cups, and the global “to-go” culture. Now, our planet is paying for it.

In 2008, you pledged to make your cups 100% recyclable – but you have yet to deliver. We demand that you take action to deliver on that promise.

Tell Starbucks: Don't trash our planet with plastic

The Starbucks cup has a dirty secret. Although the coffee chain's hot beverage cups may seem like paper, they're lined with a thin layer of plastic. That means that the cups can't be recycled, sending 4 billion Starbucks to landfills each year.

Back in 2008, Starbucks committed to creating a 100% recyclable cup. A decade later, the company has yet to deliver. We're done waiting for them to take action. That's why we're joining with our partners in the #BreakFreeFromPlastic movement to demand change from Starbucks.

Starbucks executives have told us that they're starting to feel the pressure. By adding your voice, you can help create a huge change that will keep millions of pounds of plastic out of landfills and the environment.

A #BreakFreeFromPlastic campaign in partnership with 5 Gyres, Care2, Clean Water Action, Greenpeace USA, Plastic Pollution Coalition, Stand.earth, CREDO, SumOfUs, Texas Campaign for the Environment, and UPSTREAM Policy.
