Nice that Starbucks' own website makes them out to be ethical and caring, and while I'm sure they're making surface efforts (wow, a whole 4.1% reduction in the 6 million gallons of water they've been accused of wasting every day!), it's the consumer buying into that image that's a big part of the problem. |

Are you not the person who said that even the small things count? And starbucks does FAR more than a 4.1% reduction... Read a bit more and be a bit open minded. Yes what they do is a great marketing leverage, but that doesnt take away from the fact that they make great contributions to their environment, communities, 3rd world nations...
There is a HUGE demand for coffee... corporations are needed to fill this demand... I PRAISE ANY company who can do so while be socially responsible... and corporations are entitled to a profit.
ps. I don't really like the starbucks product... but I am a huge advocate of their CSR
