Starbucks wastes 23.4 mil litres of water daily!

In a shocking discovery by undercover reporters, world-wide coffee chain giant Starbucks has a policy of keeping a tap running non-stop at all its 10,000 outlets worldwide, wasting 23.4 MILLION litres a day.

Every branch has a cold tap behind the counter providing water for a sink called a “dipper well”, used for washing spoons and utensils. Their reason for keeping it on? Constant flow stops germs breeding in the taps. That's what I call extreme bullshit.
Looks like Starbucks ain't that "green" after all.
How about a "blue" background instead to show your love for water?

  1. But if you say the flow stops the germs then it makes some sense. But they can use some chemical to kill germs instead of flowing them with water rite?

  2. Even if it is make sense but I think it is not justify. It is to wasteful. Just imagine how many ppl are dying because of no water supply. Example like African.
