The Reinvention of Starbucks

yikes! I agree that business is about profit but I find it a bit creepy that this monster of a business which forced so many small shops to close is now changing it’s clothes. hmmm? it seems that though the intention (as expressed in the article above) is to create location loyalty, it ultimately returns to brand loyalty once people sniff a bit and find that the place they have become loyal to is a major corporation. Why not just stay as is and support local flavor and community engagement on small scale? That seems more sincere.

Baby Steps to Producing Less Garbage: The Sigg (or Other Waterbottle)

Casey, Glad to hear that you have cottoned onto what many of us Californians have been up to for a while. Some of the coffee (bean junkies) also leave the house with a travel mug, making opting to make their own premium coffees at home from fabulous roasts they purchase in small bulk at farmers’ markets or…they take a travel (think reusable here) mug to their local brewer. You might also like to pick up some stylish re-usable grocery bags to take with you to market. I carry the envirosax shopper with me all of the time. it folds down to the size of a candybar (phone) and is super lightweight. I carry it with me for days when i go to the store while just out running around. check out kleenkanteen for water bottles also, it has a wider mouth and doesn’t get as easily dented. thanks for the written and environmental contribution.best! stinakeep us posted on how things go!

Republicans sneak into arts colleges and design programs too. this image illustrates (sorry for the pun) the power of image/communication. It can be used to persuade agreement and create fear.
