More than 50,000 people have signed a petition put out by a Texas environmental group calling on Whataburger to stop using polystyrene cups and containers.

Three groups plan to deliver the petition to three Whataburgers in the state Monday: one copy at its corporate headquarters in San Antonio, one at a restaurant in Corpus Christi and one at a restaurant on Guadalupe Street in Austin.

Environment Texas says about a third of Styrofoam cups end up in the environmen

I wish they'd bring back those coffee mugs that you could get refilled for a nickle. Anyone else remember those?

Yeah I remember those.

You had to be 55 or older and couldn't use them after 8:30 am.

I wish they would start using a cup and lid combo that didn't slip put of your hand when you grab it from the top. Can't count how many times over the years that I have dumped a full cup from Whataburger onto the floorboard/console of my truck by accidently grabbing too far up the cup and having the lid pop off. If they can fix that, they can make it out of whatever material they want.

I prefer Whataburger and Chick-fil-a because they still use styrofoam cups. If the greenies want a paper cup, there are plenty of other fast food restaurants to choose from.

You don't get it, do you? You're not allowed to have preferences if they are not the same as their preferences.

WTH good does it to deliver the petition to one of the restaurants? I get corporate office but WTH can the restaurant do? They just use whatever is delivered to them on the truck.

While I don't give two sheets about their use of styrofoam, I am partial to Whataburger doing something about their cups. The current cups are too thin (have witnessed or been a part of too many thumb or straw through the cup incidents) and the lids don't fit well enough.

Wild Bubba's over in Elroy makes a great cabrito burger. Give that place a try next time you're in the Austin area.

Probably 50,000 Austinites. You know, the ones who pushed to save the baby whales by banning plastic straws one week, and then couldn't be bothered to boil water instead of buying bottled water the next.
