AMERICA’S FAVORITE COFFEE TREND MAY BE COMING TO AN END:

On Monday, Keurig, which dominates the U.S. market for both coffee pods and coffee pod machines, announced that it sold 7 percent fewer machines during the holidays than it had the year before, the sixth straight quarter in which unit sales fell. The news was particularly disappointing given how crucial the holiday season is for the company.

Still though, there’s a silver-lining for the hair shirt enviro-left: “’I wish I’d never done it’: Man who invented plastic Keurig coffee pods admits he regrets ever creating them — because they ‘will never be recyclable.’”

And once again, bad economic news is good environmental news — it’s almost like this particular religion has a built-in Catch-22 or something.
