Alicia Silverstone is taking a page out of Clueless heroine Cher Horowitz’s playbook and launching a socially aware pet project: making Starbucks more eco-friendly.
The 42-year-old actress and longtime vegan took to Twitter this week to decry her “depressing” experience at the coffee chain. Silverstone says she brought an eco-friendly reusable coffee mug to reduce waste, but was disappointed to see employees — and many of her fellow customers — still using disposable cups for their beverages.
The former teen star added that Starbucks’s policy of charging for non-dairy milk, such as soy or almond, “penalized” customers for “making the eco choice.” She also requested that they start offering unsweetened oat milk, a popular non-dairy milk alternative for vegans.
Starbucks has responded to her concerns by acknowledging its efforts to “be mindful of waste” and encourage baristas to avoid using disposable cups when a customer brings in a reusable alternative. The company insisted that adding “alternative milks” to certain drinks is free, unless it’s a custom order that varies from the original recipe, in which case a “small surcharge” must be paid.

Hey Alicia - go milk an oat!
*AS IF*
Show us your......and I’ll listen. It’s what my wife does to make me pay attention to what she has to say. It really works too.
What’s that old saying, about how you should keep your mouth shut, rather than open your mouth and show how utterly stupid you are?
Yet another Hollywood idiot is going to lecture a business about how to run their business?
In her mind, it’s “being penalized” if you want a particular milk or creamer for which the price is higher? That is being penalized in her pea brain?
I don’t think she is familiar with just how labour intensive it is to get milk from an almond.

Its the opposite with me.
All I hear after that is “blah blah blah blah blah” :)
Why doesn’t she make her own coffee at home? Surely that would be the most eco-friend)y way to go.
Comprehension and analysis, not so much.
waaaaaahhh - sorry, sweetheart you cannot control We the People.
I have a neighbor who Uber Eats her morning coffee from Starschmucks. A retired school teacher. She refuses to recycle too. But sure loves her Obama and Hillary.
LOL
I have never understood since I was a young man how almost EVERY OTHER THOUGHT PROCESS goes out the window at that moment.
Perfect time for an enemy to strike

Alicia is your typical liberal fascist. Hey Alicia, here’s an idea. If you don’t like a business, don’t patronize it. It really is that simple.
Their coffee is what is depressing.
Aw, you hurt her feelings.

How much land and water does it take to grow enough soybeans to produce a gallon of soy milk? Plus nothing else grows in a soybean field except soy while many other plants, other than grass, grow in grass fields that cows graze on.
I think this “former teen star” may be stupid.
She has enough money to open up her own Starbucks franchise. She should try it!
Everything we consume comes from a source in the Earth. If it's not man-made (and even that is still raw sourced from the Earth) or created by magic, then it has to be mined from the Earth.
She is one of the dimmer bulbs in Hollywood.
