The Starbucks CEO also has one of the highest carbon footprints out of any Fortune 500 and S&P 500 CEO as well given his private jet travel from the Los Angeles area to Seattle. He could have rented out his SoCal home and brought a nice house in Mercer Island to avoid all of this, but instead he chooses his private jet super commute. Bold of them to remove plastic straws and replace them with paper straws.

Fortunately as someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest, I have plenty of more ethical alternatives for coffee shops and cafes so I don't have to give any money to an oligarch. It is a little sad to see the Seattle Reserve Roastery go since that place is everyone's go-to in the dark and rainy Seattle winters, but Starbucks sort of did them to themselves! Fk corporate greed and fk Brian Nichols!
