Starbucks to start charging for disposable cups

2.5 billion disposable coffee cups are tossed away every single year in the United Kingdom, according to Member of Parliament Mary Creagh, and Starbucks is planning a new initiative to see if they can persuade drinkers to switch to reusable cups. In 20 to 25 central London locations, they'll charge five British pennies for a disposable cup. They'll donate that money to charity Hubbub Foundation for a behavior change study.
