Earth Day Specials
Posted by ryan / Friday, April 22nd, 2011
Starbucks is offering free beverages until 9 pm today, just bring your own travel mug. If you don’t have one, they have some for twenty percent off their original price. Every day you bring it back, your drink of choice will be ten cents less than it normally is. Those who do use reusable mugs have made a significant impact.
People brought their own tumblers to Starbucks at least thirty-two million times last year, which kept nearly one and half million pounds of paper out of landfills. If you prefer not to purchase anything, just ask for the “for-here” mugs and they’ll still pick up the tab.
Over a million people participated in the promotion last year, and they would very much like to beat that record.
Lowe’s Hardware Stores are also giving away a million trees to commemorate the occasion. Visit one tomorrow to claim yours.
Earth Day should be Every Day!
