Please Write a short letter, or steal mine below and ask 7-Eleven to change their materials from Styrofoam to something healthier for the environment. It will cost you $.39 or an email. I included a small piece about Fair Trade coffee as well. Please expand as you will.
Bloggers this is where you can again come in handy. I am a nothing blogger, but some of my readers actually have an audience. Please post about this and let the blogsphere send a simple message to 7-Eleven. If you do, please link your blog in the comments of this post and begin to share the networks of simple activism.

My simple quick letter:
Dear 7-Eleven:
I am writing to respectfully ask you to change the material of your coffee cups from Styrofoam to something that is healthier for the environment. Styrofoam is difficult on the environment during production as well as consumption. I would contend that this practice can be a marketable change drawing on-the-go customers from places such as Starbucks or Seattle’s Best. Eliminating Styrofoam from your coffee materials to then offer fair-trade coffee can bring 7-Eleven into a niche of coffee sellers that is increasingly in demand.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
