Great effort by Starbucks and +1 for them for involving the locals to produce these coffee mugs and using the proceeds to help small businesses.
"Indivisible Mug
Raise your Indivisible Mug and show your support. With every purchase, Starbucks will donate $2 directly to the Create Jobs for USA fund. Produced for Starbucks at American Mug & Stein in East Liverpool, Ohio, this 12-fl oz white ceramic mug features the word, "INDIVISIBLE" debossed into its metal badge. Handwash only. Do not microwave."
Another beauty of the thing is it is made in the USA helping the local manufacturers.
"There are hundreds of East Liverpools around the country today...These towns have been left for dead. And even though it's more expensive to manufacture this mug in the U.S. than it would be in China or Korea or Mexico, this is what we need to do."
- Howard Schulz, Starbucks CEO
