McDonald's Coffee Cup

McDonald's Coffee Cup

In the neighborhood debate about fast food restaurants vs. coffee shops (among other things) people imply that coffee shops generate as much trash in the public realm as fast-food restaurants. I definitely disagree. It's rare, but not out of the question to see a Starbucks cup or something similar, in the gutter, but not fast food trash...

Even fast-food restaurant coffee drinkers may have a different sensibility about the trash they generate, compared to "coffee shop" patrons.
