Interesting. Plastic lids on coffee cups disappeared, and morning yogurt is served, partially filled, in juice glasses. Also no plastic stir sticks for coffee and tea service, as they now use cutlery, which is deposited into receptacles after use. Fleet wide, that has to be a huge waste reduction.

From what I heard they've done away with the wooden skewers also. I guess they're bad for the environment also or maybe they're just to expensive. ??
