Starbucks Announces Plan To Go Strawless In 7 More Cities By August!
Better order your reusable straws ASAP! Although Philly isn’t on the list as of now, it’s probably coming. You might have already noticed that Starbucks is using the “sippy cup lids” in alot of their stores, well now that want to ONLY use those lids. At least until they can come up with a better solution for plastic straws.
Now that Starbucks has a goal to completely eliminate single-use plastic straws by 2020, the sippy cup lids are about to start popping up in a lot more locations across the country. The sippy cup lids are currently available at more than 8,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada and will be phased in to every Starbucks in Seattle and Vancouver this fall. The next step towards this goal is rolling out the lids in 7 more cities by August. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle transitioned to the sippy cup lids in mid-July, while Washington, D.C., San Diego, Indianapolis, and Toronto will make the transition in August.
