[greenyes] Beverage container recycling in the news

[Jenny Gitlitz <jenny.gitlitz@no.address>]

Thought you'd be interested to know that beverage container recycling and
wasting has been covered  in a number of publications this week, including:

* The Worldwatch Institute¹s new on-line publication called "Good Stuff? A
Behind-the-Scenes Guide to the Things We Buy.²  The report traces what goes
into the production, use, and disposal of 25 common consumer items,
including beverage containers.   CRI's contributed to this publication with
a piece entitled "Beverages: The Price of Quenching Our Thirst." It  can be
viewed at http://www.worldwatch.org/pubs/goodstuff/beverages/.  The full
report can be viewed and downloaded free at:

* The trade journal Food Engineering discusses growing beverage container
waste in its recent issue. Anheuser-Busch is portrayed in quite a positive
light in this piece.  See it at:

Recycling is Maturing, and Facing New Challenges.²  See
