Starbucks will test the impact of a 5p charge in 20 to 25 London stores.
A charge on disposable coffee cups is to be imposed in Britain to address the problem that only a tiny proportion is recycled.
Starbucks will test the impact of a 5p charge in 20 to 25 London stores in a three-month trial starting next month, the first time any coffee chain has required customers to pay extra for a cup.
The company announced the charge after learning that the Commons environmental audit committee would recommend today that the government introduce a minimum 25p “latte levy” on disposable cups.
A report by the committee says that disposable coffee cups should be banned unless almost all are recycled by 2023.
And the EU ? – they don’t give a toss about anything unless money is the prime motivation.

When I saw the animals in this video, and how peaceful and responsible they are to each other, I suddenly realized what psychopaths around us live, who call themselves “hunters”, and who are nothing but mentally ill murderers.
I wish you all the best for the New Year 2018, and hope that together we can achieve victories for Animals in Morocco and Africa.
On the 27 December, we had a very productive meeting with partners (RAF) and Onssa (Moroccan OIE).
You can find the update on attached documents below.
One is in French, the 2sd is translated via google translation in English. Please forgive me if some words are not correct.
A 1st list of Professional associations has been sent by the Regional Representative of the Onssa to the RAF. We hope to get some of the decision makers at the next meeting that will take place on February the 10th in Rabat.
If you have any advices. We are aware that the challenge is absolutely huge but we keep on going, with your support.

Activism in 2017 | Dominic Dyer
“…activism shouldn’t become a penance – its got to be something you embrace because it’s a positive development in your life, it brings joy and happiness, excitement and innovation and change – it shouldn’t be something that has to be done because we’re all doomed and we’re all going to hell in a handcart…”
The badger cull, foxhunting, shooting, and the rise of veganism.
What direction is activism going in, and just how important was the snap general election in mid-June?
Charlie Moores discusses activism in 2017 with Dominic Dyer, chief-executive of Badger Trust and Senior Policy Advisor Born Free Foundation.
For those of you who are not familiar with Dom; you can see him doing the introduction in the following video – the Taiji Protest for the Dolphins, London.

SAV Comment-
A really great start to 2018 – helping dogs with homeless owners – full checks for their animal buddies !
In the UK stray dogs are not really a problem. Chipping is now a regulation and so dogs are usually reunited with owners within hours if they are separated.
This excellent charity has been set up to help dogs who have owners who are homeless and live on the streets. Lots of street people have animals; and this ensures that dogs etc get a review and check up if they need it. Excellent !
DOTS = Dogs On The Streets.
Dogs On The Streets (DOTS) is on the road to helping even more animals in need, thanks to a new vet van.
The acquisition means the charity’s volunteer vets, groomers, nurses and trainers will be able to reach out to even more homeless hounds in London and beyond.
Founded by Michelle Clark in March 2017, DOTS is the first not-for-profit, independent and voluntary run “street project″ delivering ongoing vet support to London’s homeless community, it said.
Street scene
Static street stations manned by volunteer vets, nurses, groomers and trainers provide a lifeline to homeless people and their pets.
Routine veterinary check-ups, blood tests and biopsies can be conducted in the van, in addition to the provision of medicine and ongoing care for chronic conditions.
Volunteers are also on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week in the event of an emergency.
Vital care is already provided to more than 140 street dogs living in Westminster, Camden, Shoreditch, parts of north London and Kent via the charity.
New era
The vet van was unveiled at one of the charity′s weekly “static street station” events on The Strand in December.
Actor and animal welfare campaigner Peter Egan was on hand to officially declare the vet van open.
DOTS director Michelle Clark is thrilled with the donated van. She said: “It will give us the opportunity to help many more homeless owners and their dogs – not only in London, but further afield.
“It will make treatment and diagnosis easier, with the best vet equipment, refrigeration, kennel and extra space to help us work more efficiently – and, in the event of an emergency, have wheels.”
The charity also supplies homeless owners with essential items, such as dog food, dog coats, bedding, collars, leads and toys.
