Starbucks asks Are you in? Featuring MC Yogi.

What if you volunteered five hours? What if we all did? That small commitment could add up to something big.

Starbucks and HandsOn Network are supporting the Presidents call for national service by encouraging everyone to pledge 5 hours to the cause of their choice. As part of the Im In campaign, MC Yogi wrote and performed this song, Grassroots Movement. Together, we can all make a difference.

Not sure where to put your 5 hours? You can find volunteer opportunities at pledge5.starbucks.com.

Right, people shouldn't have to be persuaded with a tall cup of coffee to volunteer. What's the reality though? If people are more likely to do their share to make the world a better place if Starbucks gives a free handout, I say go for it. I don't see why people are so critical of this. Give people some incentive, get the ball rolling, and hopefully you can develop some good habits. I'm all for anything that brings people to voluntary community service. Try to be positive people.

I love this video. I would love to use it to get families motived to join the PTA.

Why are people so critical of this video? I think it's a great video. All that matters is that they can get people to help, and if this is the way, that's great.

...love the image at 0:26 of the planned North American Union w/ Canada and Mexico. That's not the kind of 'change' I want. No other American should want it, either!

one word, hypocricy

you're an idiot. Starbucks doesn't do advertisements. This isn't even an advertisement.

What type of program creates an animated movie like this?

I think we should all help to make the world a better place.Not because a stupid cup of coffee because pretty soon if we do not help the eco sistum we could all die.

[LongBlueSleeves]

then why don't they censor you?

This seems more of a promotional to get people to come to Starbucks then about helping the community. No one is going to actually go five hours just for a cup of coffee, but someone already going for 5 hours or more would get an incentive to go to Starbucks. The concept sounds good.
