Contributing to deforestation, and extinction of endangered tigers and orangutans

[Omaha Steve]

How much do you love Starbucks?

Your Starbucks coffee break is likely to be contributing to deforestation, and extinction of endangered tigers and orangutans. That’s because Starbucks is a purveyor of environment-wrecking palm oil in its tasty snacks.

Starbucks deserves to be put to task for this, which is why we made a (pretty cool!) video.

Thanks for all that you do,

P.S. Websites like Facebook and YouTube let people promote videos to users who are likely to be interested -- but it costs money. Can you chip in a few dollars to help us pay for ads to make sure more people hear about deforestation? https://action.sumofus.org/a/support-palm-oil-campaigning/?akid=12692.17409._q7Cwi&rd=1&t=3

1. Obviously nothing is good for the environment

It's an epidemic that most parts of our society contributes to it. Starbucks is a liberal company so maybe once this gets out they will try another way to get the oil needed. I rarely go to Starbucks but when I do it is a vanilla bean frappicino.

2. My work requires

me to dive into one ever so often since I'm on the road a bunch and can't make it home or to the office. Never went into one prior to this job & still don't understand the draw. I do partake in purchasing because I appreciate their offering the jobs they do and I am using their internet to get the work out.

Some of them take real issue when I just want to reuse my old cup for refills to save on producing more trash and finally just had to purchase a reusable *Glass* cup because I got tired of explaining myself.

Just another Social Club (like church) for a lot of people I suppose. I'd rather not go there myself, but I do like being employed. And in that respect am glad they are too.
