We've all heard from the holier-than-thou liberals who tell us "you need to do <whatever> to save the environment!" "You need to do <this.>" "You need to do <that.>" "Don't question me, just do it!"
Sounds good, right? After all, they should be doing what they're preaching, right?
Right??

You've got to love their name for the article: "The Great Drain Robbery." In it, they detail Starbuck's policy of leaving a tap running 24/7. They estimate it wastes 23.4 million litres of water daily worldwide.
If I did the math correctly (and remembering that 1 litre is .2642 US gallons) I figured that 23,400,000 litres would equal 6,182,280 US gallons of water (per day.)
The article also shoots down Starbuck's reasons for leaving the tap running, referring to it at various points in the article as "nonsense" (quoting a health expert) and "bonkers" (quoting an environmental watchdog group.)
Starbuck's?
