I'm sure it has nothing to do with reducing costs. It's kind of like them not having straws or cup lids at DAK "to protect the animals," yet they serve bottled water with screw-off caps. If they were really concerned about animals ingesting small pieces of plastic, would they not remove and collect the screw bottle caps before serving the product to the guest? I wonder why there's a difference, as I'm sure the fact that straws and lids cost extra, but the bottle caps come with the product from the vendor, has nothing to do with the decision.

Buildings and structures all come from natural materials - they're just concentrated and formed into straight lines, consistent surfaces and smooth curves. Nothing is man-made at all. To me, environmentalists have an inherent fear of regularly-shaped objects and concentrated elements.
