Meet Greenopolis

I recently noticed the logo above popping up everywhere and had to see what it is all about. Greenopolis is the new interactive website launched by Waste Management to highlight the efforts the company is making for a greener world, namely by placing recycling kiosks in retail areas that track and reward recyclers with “green behavior”. The mission statement?

“Greenopolis makes a very simple – yet powerful – promise to you, our user:

We are about doing good.
Specifically, our goal is to provide you with information and tools to:

Help you to recycle easily
Help to save our natural resources for our children’s children
Track conservation through recycling and re-use
Educate and reward conservation”

They are a in a great position to do this, too – who better to begin to educate us than the guys who have dealt with our trash for years? The hottest news for Greenopolis? Today’s Greenopolis Earth Day Eve Party 2010 , where the Pepsi Dream Machine was unveiled. Those familiar with the existing Greenopolis recycling kiosks will like to know that “with every item recycled, Pepsi makes a contribution to the EBV to help disabled veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq become self-sufficient business owners. Two purposes for good – I think we can all get behind that!
