I don't think complaining about people buying $5 cups of coffee at Starbucks is helpful for making a convincing argument. When you make statements like that, you give people the impression that your true motive is to attack capitalism and that raising environmental concerns are simply an underhanded tactic to do so. I understand your point about driving, but the brand of coffee and the cost is irrelevant and complaining about it is counterproductive.
There's no reason we can't address climate change and have $5 cups of coffee at Starbucks (although I prefer $2 cups of coffee at Dunkin Donuts).
- stuaxo 10y agoI think it's the driving is the bigger problem (Starbucks exists in many walkable countries too). But yeah, you're right, highlighting the Starbucks is a bad plan here. Highlighting all the ways in which being good for the environment is good for business is definitely a plus.
