Starbucks Partners for Sustainability

We have begun house hunting and one of the things that will we are keeping in mind is the ability to convert the house to solar.  Many of the houses where we live are easily 100+ years old.  While we love the idea of having an old brick house, we really need to weigh the amount of electricity and gas it will take to keep the house running. ...

I have replaced using plastic straws with reusable straws throughout my household.  I carry them with me in my car so if I am out with my children we can still not utilize disposable straws.  My children have noticed this shift and are on their own now refusing the plastic straws when offered. We are also swapping out plastic wrap for reusable...

I can't believe it's the end of Earth Month already!  I do feel like I built some good habits to continue with more vegan meals, more bicycling and always continuing to learn!  Nice work team!!

I only selected two daily actions for this challenge (the rest were one-time actions)... I feel that I did reasonably well at both of them, although my dashboard reflects differently. While I made sure to get outside for a 30+ minute walk on the majority of days, I didn't log in here to document it. I wish the system would allow for more...

Some times these buying decisions cost more and aren't accessible to all. My hope is that the more demand increases, price will decrease and sustainable purchases will...

Since I travel for work, there is not much I can do about taking a flight every now and then. I book only direct flights when that is an option, since most carbon comes from take off and landing. And even though I didn't purchase any airline tickets to offset this month, I can/will make donations for future flights. And since I'm not 100% sold...

I have a minimalistic, low/zero waste lifestyle and currently work from home and travel most places by foot. My home uses green energy and I eat plant based foods. Yet my carbon footprint still uses the resources of 4.9 Earths... all because of air travel. I so look forward to the day when there are better fuel options for flights (looking at...

Proud that Starbucks is a company that is committed to sustainability.

Ahh I wish I was more consistent in this Ecochallenge!  I have been making an impact and forgetting to log in!
