4.  In June 1948, the Soviet Union suddenly blocked all ground traffic into West Berlin, which was located entirely within the Russian zone of occupation in Germany. It was an obvious effort to force the United States, Great Britain, and France (the other occupying powers in Germany) to accept Soviet demands concerning the postwar fate of Germany. As a result of the Soviet blockade, the people of West Berlin were left without food, clothing, or medical supplies.

Your empty Capri Sun pouches can be donated to the bin under the TV in the cafeteria. We send the used pouches to Terracycle to make products and, in return, for every 100 Capri Sun pouches we send we will raise $2. All of the money we raise goes to charity. In fact, Terracycle has already raised over a million dollars for charities around the world. For more information on how to outsmart waste, you can go to www.terracycle.net
