Summary:

The Pepsi Company did a study on one of their subsidiaries Tropicana and found that the carbon emissions by the company are startling. The Pepsi Company is trying to now lower its emissions in general.

Response: 

This is shocking that my orange juice is so harmful. The Tropicana Company needs to lower their emissions. It will help the environment and also draw customers because they are going "green".  The Pepsi Company has a good idea in putting the carbon footprint on the product. This should be mandatory for all companies. This would promote a better environment and force companies to go "green" because buyers at stores will by the product with a lower footprint.

Title: Green Light Specials,  Now at Wal-Mart

Summary:

Wal-mart has gone green and is helping the environment now, which is a pleasant change from its past attitudes. Wal-mart saves consumers money buy offering different lightbulb and lower concentration detergents.

Response:

This is a good step for Wal-mart and for the going "green" theme. Even though I don't like Wal-mart I am impressed that they have become so environmentally aware. They now sell fluorescent bulbs that last 75% longer, and detergent that requires 50% less water. Wal-Mart is enabling the average consumer to go "green" by making these products affordable. This new stance has also taken the heat off the company because of the working policies it was accused of doing. Overall it is a sound move for the company and it will force others to follow them
