Nostalgia…

There were few things that confounded me as much as Capri Sun drink pouches. If you did not pierce the pouch carefully with the straw, then there was a chance that the straw would go alt he way through and juice would flow through. However TerraCycle has no problem with Capri Sun and actually will pay for your used drink pouches, cookie wrappers, energy bar wrappers, yogurt containers, corks, and soda bottles. They take this waste and turn them into cool products that are available to buy on the site, such as Capri Sun tote bags. This company is definitely doing their bit to try to recycle our waste into products that have long lives.
Following business news, and finance in particular, is a relatively new thing for me, but going to business school has really helped me understand so much of the financial world. It seems that Google’s earnings this past quarter were below analysts expectations and the stock has taken a hit today. I have never seen a stock that is so volatile, and I really don’t know if I would ever invest in such a wild stock. It seems as though the future performance of Google drastically changes daily. (According to Yahoo!Finance, the stock has traded between $412.11 and $747.24 per share in the past year.)
