A short YouTube video (uploaded July 16, 2015 by Christina Haftman) consisting of a single speaker criticizing Starbucks for claiming "environmental stewardship" as a core value while not providing recycling bins in stores. The speaker reports contacting Starbucks (expecting a response from the company or CEO Howard Schultz) but not receiving a reply, and characterizes the situation as hypocritical given daily volumes of recyclable paper, plastic, and cardboard.

Chapters

Son is Starbucks, and they have this core value on the wall that says environmental stewardship. We're committed to minimizing our environmental footprint, tackling climate change, and inspiring others to do the same. However, none of their stores have recycled bins for the paper, plastic and cardboard that they generate daily. I've asked Starbucks why I had an inquiry. I expected a response from their or Howard Schultz CEO directly. I still haven't heard of them. Heard from them. This is such hypocrisy to put this on the wall. And there's nowhere to recycle your volumes and volumes of trash each day.
