Everyone loses when the Tim Horton's Roll up the Rim campaign starts.
The cups normally litter the roadsides and waterways in our town, but during the campaign the waste grows immensely. I think that the company would be doing better for our earth (and our kids) to give regular scratch cards ONLY to those who bring in a reusable Tim Horton's mug. This would not only make the chain more money, but also encourage reuse rather than littering (the cups are not recyclable and due to their coating, do not break down when thrown on the ground--they just accumulate). Come on, Tim, do your bit to help this planet.

Roll up the rim promotion causes nearly half the litter in the north end of our city. In fact, anywhere there is a Tim Horton's, there are always lots of cups on the ground--even more during the Roll-up campaigns.
Sadly, it takes a long time for the cups to break down because of the coating. It really demonstrates where so much of our city's roadside waste comes from.

This obvious fault does not reflect well on the franchise at all. Being an enemy to the planet is hurting customers and employees alike. No one WINS when they roll up the rim, I am afraid. Although the chain is marketed as a 'wholesome, family-oriented' company, promoting and sponsoring hockey and camps for kids, what is Tim Horton's leaving for those same kids when they grow up? More pollution.

I think people who buy and use a Tim Horton's reusable cup should be rewarded with a scratch off ticket. This would promote environmental care and help people make the switch over to reuse rather than buy-and-litter. The Roll up campaign needs to be stopped immediately. I will no longer patronize Tim Horton's until this practice is banned permanently.
