Why does Kool Aid need to come in bottles that are then cocooned in plastic?

Why do cookies need to be individually packaged?

Environmentalists yesterday raised those questions in handing out junk- packaging awards to nine household products they deemed to be packaged in ways that harm the environment.

Kraft's Kool Aid Bursts and General Mills' Dunkaroos individually wrapped cookies were among the products singled out by Clean Water Action and Public Interest Research Group for their award. Also named were Kal Kan's Whiskas Ultramilk cat drink, Sheba cat food and Quaker's Oat cups.

The groups said the citations were the eighth in a series of "wastemaker" awards calling attention to packaging that pollutes the environment.

"I see no reason cats need a juice box," Sheila Balen, director of the Pennsylvania PIRG, said of Kal Kan's Ultramilk beverage package.

Kudos Pan Squares sold by M&M Mars was cited for its individually packaged homestyle snacks, along with Wesson Vegetable Oil's new plastics containers (which are nonrecyclable), 3-M's New Stroke Snap-Off disposable paint brushes, and Hillshire Farm's Lunch 'N Munch bologna and cheese snacks.

"It's irresponsible, excessive packaging, which wastes natural resources as well as taxpayer dollars," said Sam Spofforth, director of Clean Water's eastern Pennsylvania office.

Spofforth said that in addition to the surplus packaging, many of the materials used to package the products were non-recyclable.

Most of the manufacturers of the products cited said they were sensitive to environmental concerns and that their packaging was designed to protect the integrity of the products. A few also said that they were changing their packaging to more environmentally friendly materials.

"Even before we heard from these groups, we had taken the initiative," said Jim Conlan, spokesman for M&M Mars in

Michael Jordan

...Was Michael Jordan the most influential Player in the NBA? Michael Jordan was arguably the best basketball player ever but was he the most influential? That is a controversial question today. Jordan has 6 championship rings, and numerous MVP’s. He is 6’7 and couldn’t be stopped when he was in his prime. Michael Jordan’s story to me makes him the most influential player in basketball. Another reason that makes him so influential is his name. MJ is known worldwide and there are numerous statues around the world in his honor. Finally the way he entertained his audience on the court is a reason why he is influential (espn.com). Michael Jordan was born in Brooklyn but his home town was in Wilmington, NC. He attended Laney high school in Wilmington where he failed to make his school’s varsity basketball team. That did not stop him, he not only made his high school varsity team but he went to North Carolina University and led them to win the championship in 1983(nba.com). The next year he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls, that year he began his road to superstardom (nba.com). Michael Jordan’s name is one of the most popular names in the world. His name is behind numerous ads and sneaker lines. He has released his retro sneakers over and over and they are getting more popular by the year. His shoes are so popular that people are getting murdered over them. According to fox news Joshua Woods, 22, got one of the few vouchers to buy a pair of the latest shoes for himself and his...

...Nike Basketball and Accessories Our Marketing plan is to sell Nike Basketballs, rims, nets, shirts, socks, shoes, and head bands. The main purpose is to promote the basketball and tell you why Nike is different from our competitors. A basketball is an inflated ball used in the game of basketball. Basketballs typically range in size from very small promotional items possibly only a few inches in diameter to extra large balls nearly a foot in diameter used in training exercises to increase the skill of players. The standard size of a basketball in the NBA is 29.5 inches in circumference. Nearly all basketballs have an inflatable inner rubber bladder, generally wrapped in layers of fiber and then covered with a tacky surface made either from leather (traditional), rubber, or a synthetic composite. As in most inflatable balls, there is a small opening to allow the pressure to be increased or decreased. The surface of the ball is nearly always divided by "ribs" that are recessed below the surface of the ball in a variety of configurations and are generally a contrasting color. An orange surface with black ribs and a possible logo is the traditional color scheme of basketballs but they are sold in various colors. Balls are generally designated for indoor (generally made of leather or absorbent composites), or all-surface use (generally made of rubber or durable composites, also known as Indoor/Outdoor balls). Indoor balls tend to be considerably more expensive than all-surface...

Rhetorical Analysis Rick Reilly

...The author, a sports writer named Rick Reilly, seeks to impart the reason why he has chosen to resign to all of his fans as well as highlight the emotional journey that has led up to his retirement.

...has ever happened. He was the first person I ever dunked on and the way I did it made it even better. But after I did it what happened later on will also be remembered. How I managed to dunk on him still amazes me this day because i don't know how i managed to do it. We were playing a game called 21 where their are no teams and the first person to score 21 points wins. While your playing and someone scores then shoots a free throw and they miss and if you can catch it and score before you touch the ground then you get the points and they go back to 0 if they don't have at least 11 points. So we were playing and the game was going for a while pretty much all of us had points it was me mason, lyle, darren, and barbie playing and i think darren was winning because he just scored and was shooting free throws and he made the first one so he got to shoot another one and he missed so this is when the dunk happened he shot it so i started to run towards the the rim and lyle jumps for the ball but as i was running i caught the ball with one hand as i jumped and dunked it over lyle with one hand as we both jumped and but darren back to 0 and i scored....
