Starbucks 'Shared Planet' Gives Tall Cup of Joe for 5 Hours of Service

After five hours of work, few would deny the pleasures of a cup of hot coffee. “So how about it?” says Starbucks, and throws in a social twist. The ‘Shared Planet’ initiative of the popular barista giant has launched a campaign to inspire people to pledge just five hours of their valuable time to community service; the reward is a good spirit uplift, along with a free Tall brewed coffee.

But just in case you are not convinced yet, take a sneak peek of the new stimulating video by MC Yogi—it could be the very reason for the more than 750,000 hours that have already been pledged. The goal of the initiative is to achieve 1 million hours of service every year by 2015.
