Now, one little stirrer may not seem like much but 138 BILLION? Geez! Think about it the next time you're at starbucks... Do you REALLY need a plastic stirrer? Especially when the laws of physics (or, um, chemistry... I should know this) mean that eventually the hot molecules of the coffee will whiz around enough to mix the milk, sans stirrer... Anyway... I'll get off my soapbox. Buy The Green Book at amazon.com! It's great!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
