Firms implementing new voluntary recycling labels to help both consumers and companies - Article
Five companies (Microsoft Corp., REI, Seventh Generation Inc., ConAgra Foods and Costco Wholesale) will use new voluntary recycling labels developed by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition on some of their products starting in January.

BAE Systems' Bid to Design a Greener, Next-Gen 'Tank' - Article
Although a Prius and a combat vehicle with mounted guns are near polar opposites, BAE's new designs combine the best of both worlds.  The next generation of combat vehicles will use less fuel, have better performance and help keep troops safer. But, can you order one in red with leather seats?
