Fox News continues spreading misinformation on climate change

. . . most Starbucks coffee cups end up in waste bins. If I had a latte for every Tim Horton's cup I see by the side of the road I'd have died of clogged arteries by now. But Starbucks is one of the companies that ought to be targeted to get with the program. They have enormous sway, and have a responsibility to use their profile to promote good habits, sort of the way "celebrities" can attach themselves to causes that matter, or make the pages by leaving their panties at home, adopting babies at odds with the local laws, and/or checking themselves into posh rehabs.

Imagine the impact of getting Starbucks to take on the AGW cause! Bring your own cup, fair trade coffee, no "drive-thrus" -- well, okay. They probably don't have any now.

AND Tim Horton's ought to be targeted to repair the damage they have allowed to happen. The people we really need to reach are the folks who pour through the drive-thru's across the country and then toss their cups out the window.

There is a huge group there who are just trying to get by, keeping their jobs, making their way, for whom the blue box is a nuisance and global warming a distant question mark. The possibility that their actions might have an impact on a global scale doesn't enter into their day to day thinking. Why should it? Every Thursday when I walk my dogs, I pass a pile of stuff out for garbage pickup. The bags clearly contain tons of stuff that is recyclable. I want to stop and sort the bags out, but I can't do it every week. How do we get to these people?

It's a social issue as well as a scientific one.
