Starbucks Coffee, TEA, and Spices…
December 31, 2008
by Suzanne B
Hi, my name is Suzanne and I am the Brand Manager for Tazo Tea here at Starbucks. I’ve been lucky enough to have been a part of Tazo now for about seven great years. Tazo was started by a guy named Steve who wanted to “pull the doily out from under the tea cup” and introduce a whole new generation of tea drinkers to the captivating world of tea.

Recycling in Starbucks Stores, an Update
December 22, 2008
by sbx_slon
Hi, my name is Sue, and I work in Global Responsibility on environmental impact. I've written about recycling and wanted to give you an update. We are developing our program for next year, and you will be seeing some exciting things! First of all, we have reviewed our recycling status - currently 70% of the North American stores where we manage trash are recycling behind the counter already. Early next year, we are going to survey the stores where we don't manage trash to find out how many of them are already recycling. We want to be sure that all stores that have the ability are recycling. One thing that is impacting recycling these days is the market. You may have heard that recyclers … more »

by Brad Stevens
Many of you are probably aware of the (PRODUCT)RED relationship we started at the onset of our holiday promotion in late November. So far, with your help, we’ve been able to generate funds that could provide more than 1.4 million daily doses of medicine to help save lives in Africa.
