A massive investigation by The Outlaw Ocean Project reveals that the global aquaculture industry, which supplies over half the world's seafood, relies heavily on fishmeal made from wild-caught fish.

Starbucks has announced that customers can now use their own reusable cups for mobile and drive-thru orders in the U.S. and Canada, as part of their sustainability efforts. This extends their existing policy of accepting personal cups for in-store orders. Customers using reusable cups will receive a 10-cent discount and, if they are Starbucks Rewards members in the U.S., an additional 25 bonus stars. The initiative includes new technology for measuring beverages and a contactless vessel for cup handling. Starbucks also launched its new winter menu, featuring both new items and returning favorites.
Starbucks is implementing a new policy that allows customers to use their own cups for drive-thru and mobile orders, aiming to cut down on cup waste. This initiative, starting Wednesday at participating stores in the U.S. and Canada, is part of Starbucks' goal to reduce waste by 50% by 2030. Customers using personal cups will receive a 10 cent discount and 25 bonus reward stars in the U.S. The process involves customers indicating they have a personal cup when ordering and handing it to baristas at the pickup window or inside the cafe. This follows a successful pilot program in Colorado and is in line with Starbucks' vision for a future where every drink is served in a reusable cup.
