If there is one person that is super happy to hear the National Solar Jobs Census report was released, it is this guy!

Well, here's the fix: the company is rolling out a $1 reusable plastic cup at its cafes starting Thursday.

Thank the powers that be that we haven't seen the last of Don Cheadle as Captain Planet!
