Practicing What They Preach?  
At Starbucks, when you order a hot drink you will likely get a little brown sleeve around your cup. This cute little cardboardy anti-finger-scalding contraption helpfully informs you that it has "approximately 45% less material than a second paper cup". This is in addition to the other factoids printed on the sleeve such as, "Starbucks stores use energy-efficient lightbulbs..." and "Starbucks proudly supports Earth Day Network...". You get the picture.

Now, that's all fine and dandy, rah-rah Starbucks for putting off landfill overflow by about .03 nanoseconds in the grand scheme of things, yay them.... if every single time I order a tall Americano I didn't get the sleeve AND the 2nd paper cup that the sleeve so passionately rails AGAINST.

Sigh.
