Starbucks Offers New $1 Reusable Tumbler
Would you pay $1 for the reusable plastic cup now available at St. Louis area Starbucks coffee shops?
In an effort to lesson the load of trash from disposable cups, Starbucks is now offering a new reusable tumbler. Good idea right?
The Seattle-based coffee company is now selling the plastic cups for $1 at St. Louis coffee shops, including those in Ladue and Olivette.
The cups bear the Starbucks logo and resembling the paper cups. Starbucks is also offering a ten cents discount for each refill.
According to USA Today, the $1 tumbler is reportedly the latest effort to address criticism and reduce the amount of disposable items that clutter landfills or end up as litter.
Prior to the reusable tumbler, Starbucks already offered a 10-cent discount to customers who brought in a reusable mug. The company's goal is reportedly to serve 5 percent of all drinks in reusable cups by 2015.

Yes, I'd pay $1.00 for a re-usable tumbler if it's for the large size coffee?!

Yes, I'd pay $1.00 for a reusable Starbucks tumbler if it was for the large-size coffee?! However, I thought the current cups are recyclable so they shouldn't be taking up landfill space if recycled..?
