Starbucks coffee to be served in ceramic

Environmental News Network reports that Starbucks, the global and ubiquitous coffee chain, will serve all in-house coffee in reusable ceramic mugs.

But if you still need to take your coffee to go, bring a reusable container and you might get a discount.

If that isn't "green" enough, Starbucks will also convert all stores to 50 percent renewable energy by 2010 and will also use 80 percent sustainable coffee by 2013.

Although we at Ecotravel News are not Starbucks frequenters (mostly because of the outrageous prices), we applaud the chain for their eco-efforts.
