Sonic update

I called Sonic yesterday and spoke to a customer service rep named, Carlos.
We discussed my concern about the millions of styrofoam cups Sonic sells every day that end up in our landfills. His response was, quote " These cups are OZone friendly and contain no CFC's. They are also recycable". I then asked what the cups were made of if not styrofoam, long pause, he put me on hold long enough to make my bed and fold a load of laundry. Fianlly Carlos returns with , quote "We aren't sure".
Okay you tell me if they don't know what the cups are made of how do they know that they are Ozone friendly and contain no CFC (cloro flora carbons are produced when plastics are produced, they are toxic to humans).
My response to this truly kind man was that if there are no facilitys available to recycle a product then they truly are not recycable. In Arkansas towns with maybe a few thousand people or less have a Sonic. Sometimes it is the only fastfood place and maybe the only restaurant. Do you think they have recycling capabilitys???????????
Please if you can take the time call Sonic at 1-866-OK-SONIC, or 1-866-657-6642.
I was unable to access an e mail address on thier website.

Tips for the day:

1. Pack your own food in reuseable containers.

2. Do not give your buisness to stores that are not environmentally concious.

3. Talk to the store mangager or call your favorite stores and let them know you care about these issues.

Blessings to all,
Courtney
