Can Starbucks please stop packaging their tea in the plastic nets?

Always distribute the blame to the single consumer!

It really the only option though, so if it bothers them that much, they should avoid SB. Maybe if enough people boycott, SB will stop using plastic tea bags

This is how I’ve navigated the problem. I don’t go there as often as I otherwise would.

It would be nice if Starbucks made its product line more appealing, but it seems that their strategy centers around high-sugar items that could be more addictive, so I can understand why the concerns of tea drinkers is an afterthought.

Similarly, I would love a matcha latte that wasn’t full of sugar, but as far as I can tell they have no unsweetened soy milk option.

I guess many reading this would say: shocker, Starbucks isn’t healthy.

How about regulation?
