The coffee shop Starbucks will give people a discount if they bring their own cups. It wants to cut down on the number of paper cups that are put in the rubbish. It is part of a two-month experiment in cafes in England. Starbucks wants to reduce waste and recycle more. The president of Starbucks in the UK said, “We are very happy to increase recycling rates, and reusable cups are a key part of our waste reduction plan.” Bosses will decide later if they will continue the discounts. People who bring their own cups will not get a discount on the cafe’s cheaper filter coffee.

The problem of paper cups has been in the news a lot. Around seven million cups are thrown away every day. Reporters say that some cafes lie about how many paper cups they recycle. The reporters say the cafes do not recycle as many cups as they say. Customers wrongly believe that a coffee shop is environmentally-friendly. Less than one in 400 paper cups at coffee shop are recycled. A coffee drinker said she would bring her own cup. She said, “I am so sad that cafes recycle so little. I thought they were more responsible.”
