Commuter Mug Discount: One way Starbucks reduces waste is by encouraging customers and partners (employees) to use reusable mugs. Customers who use their own mugs receive a $0.10 discount. In 2003, customers used commuter mugs more than 13.5 million times, keeping an estimated 586,800 pounds of paper from landfills.

In the Philippines, you save Php5 when you bring your own mug to Starbucks. So, do bring your own mug and you:
1) save Php5
2) save a paper cup (reduce paper waste and save a tree--well, at least part of it)
3) get a sticker, still! :D
Advanced Happy Holidays, everyone!
