    The question Jill failed to answer was one, a very general one, about the number of representatives in the Congressional House. Pretty basic stuff given that Jill proposes to become the head of the Executive branch of the US government. So this meme is being downvoted because it’s a bad meme, and you, Linkerbaan should feel bad for posting it.

    Environmental record

    The Ball Corporation has made improvements to its environmental record since 2006, when the company began its first formal sustainability efforts.[50] In 2008 the Ball Corporation issued its first sustainability report and began releases subsequent sustainability reports on its website.[45] The first report was an ACCA-Ceres North American Sustainability Awards cowinner of the Best First Time Reporter award in 2009.[51][citation needed]

    In the Toxic 100 list for 2004, using data from 2002, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) identified the Ball Corporation as the 59th-largest corporate producer of Air pollution in the United States, with an estimated 4.57 million pounds of toxic air released annually.[52] The PERI report for 2008, using data from 2005, ranked the Ball Corporation 54th on its Toxic 100 list; PERI’s report for 2010, using data from 2006, ranked it 65th.[53] The PERI studies indicated major pollutants included glycol ethers and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene.[54]

    The PERI Toxic 100 Air Polluters list for 2013 ranked the Ball Corporation as 619 in its list of companies producing the most air pollution in the United States.[55] In 2015 Newsweek ranked the Ball Corporation as 70th in their “Green 2015” report, which reviewed the environmental performances of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the United States.[56][57][58]
