[Plastics Make it Possible](http://plasticsmakeitpossible.com/), a project of the American Chemistry Council, commissioned a survey for America Recycles day that found that only **37 percent of Americans say they're "doing enough for the environment,"** and less than half (46 percent) say they are "knowledgeable about what it takes to be eco-friendly in my daily life." Two-thirds of Americans say they would like to learn some simple steps that help the planet, and Plastics Make it Possible offers one easy approach: buy recycled.
In honor of America Recycles Day on November 15, the **American Beverage Association** launched "[Recycle on the Go](http://www.ameribev.org/news--media/news-releases--statements/more/292/)," a program to **increase collection of used cans and bottles**. Piloted in Palm Beach County, Florida, the program provides bins around the community to increase away-from-home recycling.
**Puma** is launching a new line of footwear and **apparel made using recycled materials**. Dubbed [InCycle](http://earth911.com/news/2012/11/19/puma-incycle-recyclable-clothes-shoes/), the line includes a track jacket made from 98-percent recycled polyester.
**Coca-Cola** has [announced](http://inhabitat.com/coca-cola-launches-plastic-bottle-recycling-program-to-make-seats-for-brazilian-world-cup-stadium/) it will provide **plastic bottle recycling collection services for professional soccer's 2014 FIFA World Cup** in Brazil.
