Paper is more likely to biodegrade if you litter it.

BUT, styrofoam when used for hot liquids is a huge carcinogen.

Y'know another thing that bugs the 🞵🞵🞵🞵 out of me? The lousy lids on the Tim Horton's coffees. With that fold-up part to drink out of. The one that works only half the time...the rest of the time, it won't stay stuck in place. F*ck, I hate Rim Whoretons.

There's one on Queen between Kent and Lyon I believe, one on Gloucester and Bank, the one on Bank and Gladstone, the one near Laurier and Metcalfe, and I think that's it for the immediate area...

Add in Hamilton and it'll top everything haha, Donut Capital of Canada and home of Tim Hortons.

Thunder Bay has two Robin's Donuts in the same food court in the same mall, separate only by a couple pillars. :] How's that?

I don't really have a problem with TH, I don't drink coffee but I do enjoy Ice Caps. They're all I get from TH, I had a butter-carmel one just yesterday, Starbucks make good ones too.

I've maybe been inside a Tim Horton's twice. 🞵🞵🞵🞵.

The difference is, that from a media-perspective, grocery stores are already being criticized for their plastic bag use, which is why Loblaws (among others) introduced a reusable bag made from recycled plastic bottled. And I'm not bashing Tim Hortons. I love Tim Hortons, its just currently drinking coffee their (using the take-out cups) isn't ecologically sustainable.

Many people don't know that styrofoam can in fact be recycled in Toronto, though this is a rarity among jurisdictions in Ontario.

i was watching a show and they had a party and the dishes and cutlery etc was made out of corn and sugar or something like that - completely biodegradeable and natural

so they just threw them into the composter when they were done with them

kinda cool

Why would they approve a second franchise this close, what are people a block away supposed to drink?
