The push to create environmentally-friendly products and to cease using single-use plastics is only gaining steam. The earth-conscious company Open Water ditched traditional plastic packaging long ago for eco-friendly aluminum. “Cans are recycled more often more efficiently than any other packaging material out there,” explains Open Water co-founder Nicole Doucet. “They don’t lose any quality in the process, so they can be recycled over and over again which is really cool.”The problem with plastic is that lately, even when tossed in a recycling bin, it isn’t always re-used. That’s because there aren’t enough facilities in the U.S. to process all the wasted plastic.Another problem with plastic?“They often don’t make it to recycling bins, so people just throw them in the trash or in the streets,” Doucet says.Open Water began five years ago, but only recently have sales really taken off. They credit an environmentally-conscious public.Just this week, Coca-Cola announced its flagship water brand Dasani would soon be sold in aluminum in addition to the traditional plastic, and companies like Coors are experimenting with ditching plastic rings for ones made out of biodegradable materialWhile those companies will now be a competitor of Open Water, the company’s founders say the end result is a less polluted planet.“Well I think it’s awesome,” Doucet says of the companies’ efforts to reduce plastic waste. “We started this company with idea we wanted to make a difference, and if we are pushing larger companies to go this way too, then I think it’s incredible. A great result for everyone.” 1618

The spring flood outlook is not good news for those already devastated by flooding in the Midwest and down the Mississippi River.The outlook, released Thursday by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), calls for nearly two-thirds of the lower 48 states to face an elevated risk of flooding through May, with the potential for major to moderate flooding in 25 states across the Great Plains, Midwest and down through the Mississippi River valley."The flooding this year could be worse than what we have seen in previous years ... even worse than the historic floods we saw in 1993 and 2011," said Mary Erickson, deputy director of the National Weather Service.The warning comes amid record flooding triggered by a sudden warm-up and heavy rains 780

This week, Felicity Huffman and 13 others agreed to plead guilty in the college admission scandal, hoping to get a lighter prison sentence. But for those standing their ground, including actress Lori Loughlin and more than a dozen others, prosecutors issued additional charges against them. Those charges include fraud and money laundering, which can bring up to 20 years in prison. Justin Paperny, who is dubbed as “prison coach” for his work in helping people prepare for prison life, was hired by several people involved in the college admission scandal to help them get ready to spend time behind bars. “Well they never imagined in a million years they'd be caught up in a federal indictment,” Paperny says of his clients. Paperny’s advice to those involved: if you did it, own it. “If you're a defendant and you're guilty, you should run not walk to the U.S. Attorney's Office,” he says. White collar criminals can easily survive minimum security prison life, Paperny says. His past clients tell him prison isn't even the hardest part. "They've told me, in retrospect, that the easiest part of the sanction was federal prison,” he recalls. “That the time before they went in was incredibly harder."A judge will decide how long each defendant serves, and history shows judges look kindly on plea deals. Sentencing could happen in several weeks, at the earliest. 1378

TripAdvisor has defended itself against accusations of misleading travelers by failing to stop some of its highest ranked hotels winning their status with fake reviews.UK consumer group Which? Travel analyzed a total of almost 250,000 reviews for the 10 top-ranked hotels in 10 global tourist destinations, from Las Vegas to Cape Town. It found that one in seven of the hotels had "blatant hallmarks" of fake reviews, with others raising "serious concerns."But TripAdvisor called the analysis "flawed" and said its more sophisticated detection tools were able to weed out fraudulent feedback.Which? Travel said that when it reported 15 of the worst cases to TripAdvisor, the reviews giant -- now one of the world's biggest travel websites -- admitted that all but one of the hotels in question had been caught using fake reviews in the past year.Six had previously been penalized, and two had received a "red badge warning" -- where TripAdvisor warns users that the hotel is suspected of using fake reviews, and has "repeatedly failed to remedy its behavior and refuses to cooperate with TripAdvisor's investigators."Yet, Which? Travel said it found that the review patterns had continued unabated despite the measures, and the red badges had been removed.The group has accused TripAdvisor of a "lack of serious ongoing action to address repeated abuse of the system."It says that five-star reviews left by new users who have written no other reviews should be a red flag. Its analysis compared the proportion of first-time five-star reviews with that of first-time three-star reviews, which are less likely to be faked.In total, it studied 247,277 reviews."TripAdvisor's failure to stop fake reviews and take strong action against hotels that abuse the system risks misleading millions of travelers and potentially ruining their holidays," said Which? Travel's Naomi Leach.TripAdvisor has removed hundreds of reviews in light of the investigation, Which? Travel claimed."Striking" evidence of fake reviewsHotels in the Middle East had "striking" amounts of fake positive reviews, according to the research. TripAdvisor docked 730 five-star reviews of the "best" hotel in Jordan following the analysis -- but the hotel has not been given a red badge. It remains in the top 10 in the country.At the top-ranking hotel in Cairo, 79% of five-star reviews came from one-time contributors. Just 14% of three-star reviews came from similar accounts.The hotel has lost its status as a result of the reviews' deletion.Las Vegas was another hotspot for fake reviews. At two of the top-rated hotels, almost half the five-star reviews came from one-time contributors. For a competitor which did not arouse suspicion, the figure was just 3%.Some of the top-ranked hotels in London, Paris, Barcelona and Cape Town "gave reason for suspicion," the research showed, but failed to demonstrate the same patterns across the board.Repeat offendersTripAdvisor called the analysis "based on a flawed understanding of fake review patterns," adding that "it is simply far too simplistic to assume all first-time reviewers are suspicious."It said that Which? Travel did not have access to IP [internet protocol] information or location data, both of which TripAdvisor uses to detect fake reviews."We analyze hundreds of data points about each review -- most of which only we have access to -- and we combine that data with a wealth of knowledge and understanding of review patterns that our team of experts has gained from tracking hundreds of millions of reviews over a near 20-year period," said the company."This includes an ability to track and analyze first-time reviews in far more detail and with far more rigor than Which's team was able to do."Online reviews influence an annual estimated ￡23 billion ( billion) of booking transactions in the UK alone, according to the UK government."Sites like TripAdvisor must do more to ensure the information on their platforms is reliable," said Naomi Leach."If they continue to fall short, they should be compelled to make changes so holidaymakers are no longer at risk of being duped by a flood of fake reviews." 4152
