After hurricane Sandy, Anheuser-Busch put beer production on hold at one of their plants. They started canning drinking water for residents and relief workers.

I know cans are not a perfect solution, but it is better than plastic. It begs the question WHY don't companies [generally] sell water in cans?? They sell seltzer, tonic, etc etc, but not plain old water. Hmm, very curious.
ANYWAY, I can't imagine that using canned water would impact plane weight very much. Aluminum cans would be much better in terms of recyclability.
"What do you think is the best way to get their attention?" I think we need to know what city this is in (I am monkeyjen). Like I said in my earlier post, I think each Starbucks has a different standard based on the community they reside in. Knowing which city or county or whatever would allow us to write to Starbucks about education needed in a specific area. A general comment might be for Barristas-in-training to use durable cups.
@BethTerry Beth, I think the book design is awesome, and incredibly unique. I never saw a modern thing like it. I think most people are used to seeing covers on library books. A big clue will be when EVERY book on the shelf has one. Don't worry :)
@InWomenWeTrust Yeah, like a disclaimer - the author and publisher did not do this - WE DID :)
@The Green Cat I actually think it's perfectly acceptable for them to cover the book, for exactly the reasons that the librarian states. Plastic does have a place in our world and sometimes it is the best solution, though, as we know, it is often not used in this way. Besides, the mylar cover is not a 'single-use' item. That cover may just last the entire life of that book, and prolong the life of the book while it's at it.
It's so bizarre that removing this is such an issue. Don't we have the technology?? :) I propose a big crane lifts it out of the water, puts it on a truck and takes it somewhere where it can be used. Is that possible? Or an some big ship or something.
