Silverwood Unveils Recycling Kiosks

There's a new attraction at Silverwood Theme Park in North Idaho. No, not another roller coaster! Dream Machines (interactive computer recycling kiosks) premier this summer at the park. Silverwood has teamed with Pepsi Co. and local Waste Management offices to install 150 recycling receptacles within the Northwest's largest theme park. Two of these recycling machines interact with guests as they recycle their bottles or cans, rewarding them with coupons to Silverwood, discounts at attractions around the country and points for Pepsi merchandise. Nancy DiGiamarco, Silverwood's director of marketing and sales, hopes the machines will be another hit attraction for Silverwood guests/Nancy Dooley, Idaho Conservation League. More here.

Question: Do you go out of your way to support businesses that are environmentally friendly?
