"Starbucks is committed to reducing our environmental impact through increased use of recycled post-consumer materials. Help us help the planet." - Starbucks cup

Let me offer you my personal adaptation and the true meaning behind this message:

"Starbucks is committed to trying to win our customer's sympathy by hypocritically proclaiming our compassion for Mother Earth by pretending to reduce our environmental impact by having drive-thru windows where exhaust fumes of impatient SUV-driving soccer moms further deplete our ozone layer and through increased but not complete use of recycled post-consumer materials (ew, this sounds gross). Help us help the planet by serving all iced drinks in plastic containers and not offering recycling bins at any of our locations." -- Starbucks cup.

But there's probably not enough room on the cup to print all of that. Plus, let's conserve the ink; who knows, future generations may be without.
