Together, they have recycled approximately 45 million bottles and cans as part of a program designed to inspire K-12 students to become environmental leaders at school, at home and in their communities.

Now, to make this even better news, schools everywhere can join PepsiCo’s Recycle Rally and connect with other students recycling around the nation.

Any school can now sign up for the chance to earn rewards and gain access to exciting educational tools available to Recycle Rally participants by applying online at PepsiCoRecycling.com.

At the heart of the initiative, Recycle Rally teaches students how to live more sustainably and inspires communities to increase recycling in their hometowns.

When schools recycle bottles and cans, they aren’t just helping improve the environment, but they are also helping post-9/11 war veterans get business and entrepreneurship training through an organization called Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities.

Schools in the program also recycle their bottles and cans to help PepsiCo and The Nature Conservancy protect clean drinking water in America’s iconic waterways.

Inspiring Students Recycle Rally inspires students to become proud and frequent recyclers and motivates others to follow suit. Through what’s been described as a little creativity and a whole lot of fun, students at schools across the country have

2012 Prime Publishing 2014 helped bolster recycling rates through holding schoolwide raffles, creating dedicated recycling hubs, making commercials, distributing flyers and forming “green teams” dedicated to the cause.

Recycling For Life “One of the best aspects of participating in PepsiCo’s Recycle Rally is knowing that this helps hook students on recycling for life,” said Rodney Howe, head custodian at Progress Elementary School in Ogallala, Neb. “Recycle Rally motivates students to do good for the environment and their local community.”

Howe and his team of 116 students placed first in the Recycle Rally after collecting a total of 15,000 pounds of aluminum cans and PET plastic during the 2013-2014 school year.

Technology Key For SMBs Facing New World Of Work

For small- and midsize-business (SMB) owners, time is a precious commodity. They need to get more done with less time and fewer resources than bigger companies. The good news is, SMBs have access to affordable yet powerful technology that can make a big difference in their ability to get things done from anywhere.

Newer cloud options allow SMBs to mix and match features based on specific needs and evolve with the business based on factors such as growth or seasonality. They also alleviate the fear of spending funds on soon-tobe-obsolete technology.

In particular, cloud technology gives business owners and their employees access to e-mail, documents and business tools from wherever they are, helping them stay productive on virtually any device. Cloud-based productivity solutions allow sole proprietors and smaller businesses to be nimble without the traditional cost and complexity of big IT.

Here are a few tips to get started with new technology:

The cloud allows employees to better collaborate in real time across multiple locations, providing access to business e-mail and documents from the office or the road. In fact, research has proven that cloud services are an essential ingredient for efficiently growing a modern business.

• Move to the cloud—Microsoft recently announced new Office 365 plans for SMBs, which offer Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as e-mail, Web conferencing, and collaboration tools. The easy setup and 24/7 technical support allow owners to pay only for what they use.

The Boston Consulting Group recently published the results of a survey that revealed a big shift in the way SMBs work from just three years ago.

Workers are no longer confined to desks or offices, and the tools that enable these modern work-on-the-go arrangements have been shown to have a direct impact on SMBs’ bottom line—increasing revenue by as much as 15 percent compared to SMBs that don’t use these technologies.

• Find a partner—Working with an IT expert is one of the best ways to ensure technology delivers the most value. Tools like Pinpoint can help business owners connect with a partner with the needed skills and expertise.

• Evaluate your business needs—Whether you’re a start-up needing to connect employees on the road or a growing business seeking a competitive edge, the right tools can help increase productivity.

More Action Needed To End Pet Homelessness

here appears to be a significant difference between what many people offer as their opinion about pet homelessness and what, if anything, they do about the problem.

That’s a key finding of a recent survey that revealed that although a growing number of those surveyed say they care about pet homelessness, more than half—many of them pet lovers—still don’t provide any support to address the issue.

In addition, the survey—Pet Smart Charities 2014 U.S. Shelter Pet Report—showed that most of those polled (85 percent) underestimate the number of pets who are euthanized annually in the United States. Experts say approximately 4 million pets are euthanized every year—or 11,000 pets daily—because there are not enough homes.

whose pets were unaltered said they chose not to spay/neuter because it was too expensive.

Fortunately, PetSmart Charities believes these problems can be addressed through simple steps and more education. It suggests the following: • Adopt your next pet: Seek out animal shelters and even breed-specific rescue groups.

There are also online resources for shelters that allow filtering by breed or type of pet to make the search easy.

• Get your pet fixed: There are many low-cost options available. This helps to prevent unplanned litters.

• Spread the word: Helping other pet lovers to get more involved with local shelters and rescues increases the chances of other pets finding a lifelong, loving home.

The study also found that among new pet owners the main barrier to adoption was that people said shelters did not have the type of pet they desired, with 34 percent wanting a purebred pet. • Donate to animal welfare organizations: PetSmart Charities funds thousands of local animal welfare groups that offer adoption and spay/neuter This suggests that people are unaware of breed-specific rescue groups. programs in communities throughout North America.

In fact, one in four pets available in U.S. shelters and rescue groups is a purebred.

PetSmart Charities 2014 U.S. Shelter Pet Report is based on a survey of 2,800 adults, with and without pets, conducted in July 2014 using research When it comes to spay/neuter procedures, there is also confusion. For firm Ipsos MarketQuest. example, fewer than half of pet parents queried knew that low-cost spay/ neuter options are available.

Medical Progress For The Future

T

he ability of the United States to solve major health challenges like Ebola or the Enterovirus D68, or find cures for other deadly or disabling diseases like cancer or Alzheimer’s, could depend on what you do in the voting booth.

That’s because, when armed with information about your candidates’ views, you can make voting decisions that will help determine the speed of U.S. medical progress.

Here’s where the Ask Your Candidates! (AYC!) initiative comes in. Established by Research!America, a nonprofit organization working to make medical research a higher national priority, the nonpartisan Ask Your Candidates! initiative helps voters gain insight into the priority their candidates place on accelerating research to combat known illnesses or emerging threats that devastate families or become public health crises.

ize and send an e-mail to their candidates. Voters can also view candidate responses on the site.

Some voters have asked about their candidates’ support for research to fight cancer or another illness; others have asked broader questions, such as: • Where does speeding up medical progress fit among your priorities for Congress?

• How will you encourage innovations that improve the health of Americans?

• Does Congress do enough to support science that leads to treatments and cures for disabling and deadly diseases?

• Is enough medical research done on helping wounded warriors?

Funding Medical Research There are two main sources of funding for medical research, and they are both crucial to achieving medical progress: federal support and private-sector investment. Congress has significant influence over both: 1) it determines annual funding levels for publicly supported research at universities, academic health centers and other institutions, and 2) it crafts laws affecting the return on private-sector investment in medical research and development.

Because few businesses can attract investors for pre-commercial science, Americans have traditionally devoted about 1 percent of health care tax dollars to financing basic research, which paves the way for better diagnostic tools, treatments and cures.

Empowering Voters Research!America and a team of national partners are spearheading an initiative that encourages voters to reach out to their candidates through e-mail, Twitter or Facebook and ask them to comment on the future of medical progress. A link on the AYC! website enables voters to personal-

• Government investment in medical research is dropping. Do you think that’s right?

• Most private-sector medical research occurs in the United States, where it creates jobs and exports. Should keeping it here be a priority?

There is no “good” or “bad” question from voters. And there is no “right” or “wrong” response from candidates. AYC!’s purpose isn’t to endorse an answer or candidate; voters and candidates alike hold a diversity of views on the relative importance of medical progress and how to best achieve it.

Taking The Next Step Whether you are a voter or a candidate, you can visit the website at www. askyourcandidates.org to get involved. It could be your involvement that makes a difference.

Get Your Car Ready For Winter Roads

T

here are a few things you need to do to keep yourself and your precious cargo—kids, friends, pets—safe on snow, ice, slush, black ice and wet roads. Safety on the road is important all year-round, but winter weather calls for extra caution behind the wheel. That’s why many auto safety experts urge motorists to keep road safety at the top of their checklists this winter and switch to tires specifically designed for cold weather driving.

“Every aspect of a winter tire has been engineered to provide the best performance in winter conditions and temperature fluctuations while maintaining traction on any surface,” said Mark Marrufo of Discount Tire. “Keeping your family safe in every aspect of life is your priority.

It is our priority to keep you, your family and your passengers safe while on the road.”

At 45 degrees, vehicles often lose their ability to brake and turn well because of the rubber compound found in all-season tires. That compound begins to gradually harden when temps dip below 45 degrees, meaning decreased road traction and less grip. What’s more, snow and ice often pile up in the tire grooves on all-season tires.

Winter tires, on the other hand, are made with higher-silica compounds.

This allows the tire to deliver much better traction, which reduces skidding and improves braking. In fact, in temperatures below 45 degrees, winter tires can provide 25 to 50 percent more traction than all-season tires. Two new tires for this winter that use this technology are the Bridge-

stone WS80 and Michelin X-Ice Xi3. In addition, specialized tread design, which includes thousands of very small slits— called sipes—provides extra road-biting edges for improved winter traction.

Five Tips For Winter Road Safety: 1. Replace your all-season tires with winter tires for driving in temperatures of 45 degrees or below. Make sure to replace all four tires to avoid an unsafe traction mismatch.

2. Don’t forget the wheels when switching to winter tires. Having a set of wheels specifically for your set of winter tires will save money in the long run.

3. Check tire pressure regularly and don’t forget the spare. Underinflated or overinflated tires may result in poor handling, uneven tread wear and poor fuel consumption.

4. Rotate your tires at least every 5,000 miles or earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops.

5. Make sure the tire shop that gets your tires ready for cold temperatures properly torques the lug nuts to the specifications for your vehicle.

If you’re not sure if you need winter tires, you can get a free safety inspection at any Discount Tire location. For more facts about winter tire safety or to find a Discount Tire store, visit www.discounttire.com.

Live Long And Prosper? Yes, It’s Possible

L

ife expectancy in the United States is increasing. According to government data, today’s 65-year-old will likely live beyond age 85, and a little more for women, who tend to live longer than men. By 2040, 79 million Americans will be 65 or older, nearly double the size of that age group today.

• Silence is not golden—While conversations about money can be difficult, they are essential. Since partners and, in some cases, adult children have a stake in financial decision making, it is important to work collaboratively on refining financial priorities and accountabilities. Long-term care is one example of a planning consideration that tends to impact the entire family.

One problem is that expenses are keeping pace with the uptick in longevity. The realities of inflation, climbing health care costs and insufficient savings are putting a damper on the prospect of a longer life for a good number of Americans. In fact, Northwestern Mutual’s 2014 Planning & Progress Study found a full third of Americans do not feel financially prepared to live until the age of 85-which may help explain why one in three adults does not think he or she will ever retire.

• Don’t go it alone—An overwhelming majority of Americans do not have a financial adviser even though research suggests there is a correlation between professional guidance and financial security. An expert can take an objective look at your resources and goals, counsel you on the merits of various risk and investment solutions, and devise a strategy to meet immediate and future needs.

The good news is that it is never too late—or early—to overcome the financial security fear factor. Here are some ideas on building a financial foundation that can help extend your lifestyle through your life span.

• Fail to plan, plan to fail—Nowhere is that saying more valid than with financial matters. Northwestern Mutual’s 2014 Planning & Progress Study also found that disciplined planners feel significantly more financially secure and happy in retirement. In addition, the lack of effective planning was one of the top reasons cited for why some Americans feel they are “playing catch-up” with savings and investments.
