B As stated "in Time Magazine, by 2030, Starbucks wants to move away from disposable cups, which represent big portions of the company’s overall waste and greenhouse gas emissions.”
C According to Time Magazine, Starbucks wants to move away from disposable cups since they "represent big portions of the company’s overall waste and greenhouse gas emissions.”
D Since the disposable cups at Starbucks represent big portions of the company's "overall waste and greenhouse gas emissions," they want to move away from them by 2030, Time Magazine reports.
