'Less napkins. More plants. More planet.'

Fewer napkins. F-E-W-E-R napkins.

And 'more planet'?????

I thank you.

I know, I know, CoftheM - that'll learn me. That's right, I said 'that will learn me'.

And what exactly is the advantage of having 'more planet' anyway? More money would be nice.

More planet - that's great! Plants make Earth grow, you know.

Erm, you can't create more planet than there already is. Unless you build an extension into space. Pedantic but true.

'Better environment' or 'cleaner air' maybe. If they'd just left it at 'more plants' even.

And strictly speaking, should it say 'More trees', or are Starbucks napkins made from other plants?

It's all crap, isn't it?

More planet. More Starbucks. More bucks.
