Summary: The Coca-Cola Co. is donating $1.1 million to revamp several U.S. national parks and to help launch a recycling program on the National Mall.

Money will support enhanced trail programs in seven national parks, which locally include George Washington Memorial Parkway. The Trust for the National Mall, the official partner of the NPS, said the comprehensive recycling and educational program for the National Mall’s 25 million annual visitors will kick off with a waste stream study.This summer, waste on the National Mall will be studied by type and volume and Coke will help formulate best practices on how to address recycling. The Coca-Cola Co. has been a national parks partner since 2007. This may help me make a choice in the coke or pepsi battle?
