My ‘Bucks
Thursday, September 18th, 2008
It feels strange to be so proprietary about a Starbucks, but I can’t help it. While searching for more used coffee grounds today, I hit the mother lode at the ‘Bucks on 45th and Lamar, acquiring about ten times as much as I got from Epoch last weekend. So, fellow scavengers, steer clear. This is my ‘Bucks.
Just kidding. There’s more than enough waste to go around in this world. A wise man/smart group would set up some sort of program that ensured that all coffee grounds used by the Starbucks Corporation ended up going back into our rapidly depleted soil instead of heaped atop junked cars in our landfills. I have to believe that we as a species are going to start realizing that recycling our waste products and replenishing our soil makes sense economically, environmentally, and morally. Here’s a situation where we can do both at once.
