PepsiCo and its partner, mega-recycler Waste Management, announced Wednesday afternoon that they will place thousands of high-tech recycling kiosks across the United States that will ply consumers with goodies and good feelings.

Consumers will also be able to accrue rewards with each bottle; key fobs will synchronize with the recycling machines and track each donation. Consumers will be able to claim their gifts, such as restaurant coupons and deals on rental cars, at greenopolis.com.

Now that Halloween is over and you’re ready to move onto the next holiday, consider yourself prepared to answer the question: What will you do with your costume, decor and more anyway?
Well, finding out what to do with your pumpkin after Halloween is the easy part. And reusing your decorations year to year is a no-brainer. In fact, Americans buy nearly $1.58 billion worth of Halloween decorations each year.

Getting Schools to Go Green. As eco-savvy parents, we try to instill green values in our kids at home.

In the 1980s, it was apartheid. Today, that issue is climate change — or at least it will be, if Eban Goodstein has anything to do about it. An economics professor at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Ore., Goodstein became convinced of the threat from climate change in the early 1990s. He started writing and speaking about it and eventually created the Green House Network in 1999 to train other global warming advocates — doing Al Gore's work before Gore was. But a couple of years ago, Goodstein came to realize that his response wasn't meeting the sheer scale of the climate change risk. Half educational initiative, half political engagement, Focus the Nation is a countrywide effort to put climate change front and center on American campuses — and enlist students as foot soldiers in political battles over global warming.
