When I was shopping a few weeks ago I came across this soup can. I was impressed with what Campbell's was trying to do. I applaude their efforts. Nobody expects them to do good things for the environment because they manufacture soup in mass quantities. Their actions say different, and they are making attempts to do what they can to improve our world.They made a can that takes no electricity to open, and they are spreading the message on their label. Earth Day is Everyday!

hmmm - the extra metal needed to lift it up
if the electricity comes from a solar or wind source - less metal needed - then less to recycle -
more metal to make robots
Instead of the actual chicken - maybe a soup out of chicken shit
Chicken Shit Soup - we could use that to power the robots who can work in our recycling mines so the people with mental disabilities can do something else, like scoop up all the chicken shit because there's goona be a lot more chickens running around.
What the hell? Looks like and sounds like you already tried some of the soup you're talking about.
Every can I open doesn't take electricity to open, but I suppose if that's not the case with 90% of America, then this is a better thing than a bad thing. But I'm not all that impressed without knowing what else they are doing as a company.
I'd rather find out that Cambell is launching a brand of soup that utilizes ingredients and distribution from local markets, so they aren't shipping ingredients, metal, or finished cans of soup all over Gods barely green Earth. That's where the worst damage to our planet is happening. Remember that display in the Denver museum on where the parts that made the Denver museum came from? That kind of shit has to stop.
What you say is true, but it is a baby step for a large company. Are they the greenest company out there? Probably not, but they are at least sticking their heads out there to see what is going on. Is this stunt driven by a deep desire to help the earth or to capture a small corner of the market that seems to be getting bigger? Probably the latter. Whatever the prompting, the idea of propetuating the idea of being green is a good thing. I clap for them, but I show restraint on pushing them up on my shoulder like Rudy.
I give them some credit for at least acknowledging Earth Day, even if their intention is mostly greenwashing.
I for one, open my cans without electricity even if they aren't convenient pull-top lids.
But again, acknowledgment is better than none.
Dan - I like "God's barely green earth"
