A quick look at the path of one bottle from cradle and back again. At Honest Tea, we like to say that nature got it right; we just put it in a bottle. That's why we're launching The Great Recycle, a national call-to-action to boost recycling rates. Honest Tea's ultimate goal: to recycle every bottle we produce each year by 2020.

On Monday, April 30th Honest Tea will launch a new, national recycling initiative called "The Great Recycle," by erecting a 30-foot bin in Times Square in an attempt to collect more than 45,000 beverage containers in one day -- approximately the same number of HONEST beverage bottles typically sold daily in NYC in April.

Not in NYC? Join Honest Tea online and show your commitment to recycling all year round.

Climate change denier Lord Monckton's statements are challenged by data and reports.  This series of videos, from the science journalist known on YouTube as Potholer54 and are a great resource for anyone.

Here is another of this series here on EarthSayers.

Monckton's Stance on Climate Change is bunkum that is to say nonsense.

"Yes, there is a greenhouse effect. Yes, CO2 contributes to it. Yes, it causes warming. Yes, we emit CO2. Yes, warming will result. But not a lot."

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. Documentary filmmaker Ana Sofia Joanes talks about her passion in this video.

What does environmental devastation actually look like? At TEDxVictoria, photographer Garth Lenz shares shocking photos of the Alberta Tar Sands mining project -- and the beautiful (and vital) ecosystems under threat.

For almost twenty years, Garth's photography of threatened wilderness regions, devastation, and the impacts on indigenous peoples, has appeared in the world's leading publications. His recent images from the boreal region of Canada have helped lead to significant victories and large new protected areas in the Northwest Territories, Quebec, and Ontario. Garth's major touring exhibit on the Tar Sands premiered on Los Angeles in 2011 and recently appeared in New York. Garth is a Fellow of the International League Of Conservation Photographers
