Getting Real in California

I’ve been reading and talking a lot lately about the idea of tackling climate change by “thinking globally and acting locally.” It’s not a novel concept; in fact, it’s becoming the mantra in everything from politics to marketing to social causes.

Whirlpool Goes Big on Packaging Recycling

Although Americans have been recycling for decades, the U.S. recycling rate still hovers around 34 percent. Companies, government agencies and nonprofits have all done their part to educate consumers, but there's still work to be done. In fact, 28 percent of Americans say they'll only recycle items they already know are recyclable and just one in five will do additional research to find out whether or not an item is recyclable if it is not clearly labeled. Now, one appliance company is leading the charge in its industry, ensuring consumers can easily identify what can be recycled from its packaging with an easy-to-understand label.
