While recycling typically means using reusable bags and throwing trash in the blue bin instead of the gray one, a new Starbucks in Seattle has created an entire store from four old
shipping containers
.
The Starbucks officially opened in mid-December off Interstate 5 in Tukwila, according to Inman News . Spokesman Alan Hilowitz told the website the store will contribute to reducing the company's overall carbon footprint.
