Alicia Silverstone has a bone to pick with Starbucks.
The Clueless actress recently blasted the coffee chain on Twitter, and it all started over disposable cups.
The Clueless actress is vegan and even recently took to Instagram to share her tips on living a more sustainable lifestyle.
"Avoid single-use plastics by using a reusable water bottle, straw, cutlery, containers and shopping bags," she began.
Other tips included going vegan or at least having a meatless Monday every once in a while and shopping consciously by supporting second-hand thrift shops.
At eight years old!
That's right, her eight-year-old son, Bear, who she had with her ex, Christopher Jarecki, is being raised vegan.
“I’ve never had to raise my voice to Bear,” she said.
“I can just say ‘no, thank you’ and we respect each other and listen to each other. So much of that is because he’s not … a lot of it is the parenting, but a lot of it is the food. When your kid feels good, they act well.”
It all happened when she visited the coffee chain this past Tuesday and staff used a disposable cup to make her order.
Last year, the company had taken steps forward to helping the environment by introducing strawless lids.
They have also introduced a more streamlined waste and recycling program.
While she was at it, she also asked them to start offering unsweetened oat milk at all of their locations.
#priorities, girl!
Caring about the earth's health is cool you guys!
Even the support account for Starbucks got involved by asking the actress for more info on the matter.
"Starbucks baristas are encouraged to craft beverages directly in customers’ reusable cups whenever possible. Building on our long standing commitment to sustainability and an elevated customer experience, we will take this opportunity to review guidance to our partners about personal cup use as we continue to be mindful of waste," the statement read.
"Regarding alternative milks, adding a splash of any alternative milk to brewed or iced coffee, cold brew or an Americano is always offered free of charge. The price of our beverages is based on a standard recipe, so any customizations that are not part of the standard recipe, which could include added flavors, alternative milk, or an additional shot of espresso, will incur a small charge," they explained.
This is the actress who once played the great and powerful Cher from Clueless — the one who got her grade from a C+ to an -A.
If anyone can spur positive change for the planet, it's Cher Alicia.
