24 Jan 2020 --- ProVeg International, a global food awareness organization, is urging coffee chain Starbucks to drop its surcharge on plant-based milks if it is serious about achieving new climate targets. The charity’s call follows Starbucks’ newly announced goals for reducing its environmental impact and a pledge to expand its plant-based offerings. By 2030, the coffee chain is targeting 50 percent reductions in carbon emissions, water withdrawal and waste sent to landfill, as well as a move away from single-use plastics.
