These are the types of decisions more companies need to be making. Kudos to them.

I'm glad Pepsi did this, we really ought to give tax breaks or other monetary rewards to these companies to encourage others to follow suit.

Although I wish we had a source other than treehugger. They spent the latter half of the article bashing big corporations.

Don't believe in global warming, so I don't care about the carbon footprint stuff, but I think we can all agree that using less water, and producing less landfill waste is a good thing.
