Orange juice seemed like a good case study.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The company has not yet made any decisions for where all to use the information, such as if to put it on packaging or not, but says it will provide it openly on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tropicana.com\/\">Tropicana&#8217;s Web site<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>PepsiCo has pledged to be a leader among corporations seeking &#8220;carbon neutral&#8221; operations, and to provide consumers with an absolute number for their products&#8217; carbon footprints.  <\/p>\n<p>The <em>Times<\/em> reports: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>PepsiCo is scheduled to announce its Tropicana results on (today), and will publish carbon-footprint numbers for products including Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Gatorade.
