So much has happened in the last few weeks.

We found out that Duncan Fulton has become a leader at Restaurants Brand International (RBI), the parent company of Tim Hortons, as well as Burger King and Popeyes. We would like to welcome him as he has a great opportunity to innovate and explore solutions to care for our planet.

Tim Hortons will be piloting more environmentally-friendly lids at six locations (these should cut down on leaking as well). That’s a welcome change.

The coffee chain is also investing $100-million to bolster its distribution network, to be more competitive and mend relations with its franchisees. That’s a lot of money! Why not invest some of that amount in caring for our planet and the environment?

We are asking them to invest in and use a better cup. Why is it so important? Every year, 430 billion single-use disposable cups are thrown in the trash around the world. We see Tim Hortons coffee cups on the roadside, in lakes, and when we bring our own mugs, employees use a disposable cup to pour the hot drink into our mug. We find these concerning and know that Tim Hortons can do better.

 We think companies should be looking for solutions, not contributing to the problem. It is us, the young people of today, that are inheriting our planet. We firmly believe we need to clean it up for the generations to come.

If you agree that Restaurants Brand International should be leaders and invest in and use a better cup, please share this petition on Twitter & Facebook today! 

Thank you for your support!
