Hello. I am trying to get Dunkin' Donuts to switch from using styrofoam cups, to recycled paper cups because it is WAY better for the environment. I need as much people as possible to support me on this. you see, styrofoam is bad for the environment because it takes so long to decompose, and also the factories that make it contribute greatly to the amount of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere. Please help me out and go to:

Add the myspace to help out. thank you so much.

This is so awesome of you!! What a great idea.
Have you contacted your local dunkin doughnuts managers/owners? Write them letters...see where they stand. Also, contact like "head office" and see what their views are and why.
You should also contact local lobby groups or environmental groups and see if you can gain their support to take up your cause (organizations like this have funds available to them that you may not...so they can get the message out to more people).
Even editorials to your local papers would get people's attention on this issue.
Once again, this is an awesome idea!

Your idea does have a good point but you need to think it over.
Recycled paper cups, not one of the most sanitary choices, i mean everything paper goes into it, there are reasons why we don't have everything recycled. This is an actual drink coming into contact with the paper. Example, glass and plastic bottles are not turned into bottles a second time.
Your cups are gonna be placed into garbage about 99.9% of the time. They are gonna end up being placed with other garbage that would take even longer to decompose.

Props to you but you should think bigger. They are banned in all the restaurants in our whole city! I like to think it started with me when I left a styrofoam plate, cup and bowl (for lunch) on the steps of our local university Student PIRG office one day. They soon got it banned from campus then soon after the whole city! Try your local PIRG office or city environmental department. Good luck!

Why don't you get Dunkin' Donuts to listen to you?

How do you know that paper cups are any better? Don't trees have to die to make them?

Why pick just on them, when this is so prevalent in the US everywhere....try asking them to use porcelain cups.

Might want to submit a working link. And while I agree with your cause, I think your approach is wrong. Calling them evil will not help your cause.
