RECYCLE: LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Starbucks claims to recycle and has placed a half recycle bin, half trash bins in the stores in my area. However, we were instructed to throw the blue trash bags right in with the clear ones in the outside dumpsters. The only material that is actually recycled differently is cardboard and newspapers. I understand that very small steps are being taken in the right direction; however, why take baby steps when we already know how to LEAP!?

I propose that we begin to recycle ALL recyclable materials.
For example:
Empty Milk Cartons
Empty Milk Gallons/Half Gallons
Empty CO2 Cartridges
Plastic Cups
Paper Cups
Glass Bottles
Plastic Bottles
Cardboard
Coffee Grounds (AT EVERY LOCATION)
Coffee Pods
Coffee Packaging
Etc.

Almost everything used at Starbucks can be recycled or re-used. And from my four years of observation I see little effort to do so. Lead by example. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!
