Monday, July 2, 2012, A-B External Announcement
Anheuser-Busch provided 8,624 cases of drinking water — or 206,976 cans — for use by relief workers and residents affected by recent storms and power outages throughout West Virginia. Four trucks loaded with water left Cartersville, Ga., and arrived Wednesday to assist impacted communities and relief efforts. “Relief workers and people in the community are in need of fresh drinking water as they work to recover from the storms, and this is one way Anheuser-Busch and our local wholesalers can help,” said Peter Kraemer, vice president of Supply for Anheuser-Busch. Since 1988, Anheuser-Busch has donated more than 71 million cans of drinking water following natural and other disasters. Helping communities cope with disasters has been an Anheuser-Busch tradition since 1906 when Adolphus Busch made a donation to victims of the San Francisco earthquake. Today, in addition to providing monetary support, Anheuser-Busch packages fresh drinking water and donates it to emergency relief organizations for distribution to those in need.

Wetlines Study Included
Today, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will hold a markup on its recently released highway reauthorization bill known as the “American Energy & Infrastructure Jobs Act” (H.R. 7). The five-year $260 billion surface transportation bill would be paid by tapping royalties from oil and gas drilling on public lands and federal waters and would cut some transportation programs to pay for the reauthorization. However, oil and gas drilling is a contentious congressional issue and may not make it into the final bill when the House and Senate reconcile differences. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected this week that the trust fund would be insolvent by 2013 assuming current spending levels.
The House Ways and Means Committee will mark up the their portion of the Highway reauthorization bill which includes the 18.3 cents-per-gallon gasoline tax, the 24.4 cents-per-gallon diesel tax and the .001 cents-per-gallon leaking underground storage tank tax. It is likely that the motor fuels excise tax and the LUST tax will remain the same and would be reauthorized for the next five years.

The West Virginia Oil Marketers & Grocers Association, representing convenience stores, independent groceries and petroleum marketers across the state, are working to do their part to recycle and conserve resources. This includes recycling the cardboard and plastic packaging that much of the products you see on your local store shelves are shipped in, to recycling and conserving the water used in the car washes at your local convenience store.
Tuesday, Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day across the country. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States. While we recognize that it takes some effort and dedication, we encourage everyone to explore ways to recycle and conserve resources in their daily lives.
For more information on recycling and conservation strategies, I encourage you to visitwww.americarecyclesday.org. While on the site, consider signing a pledge to learn about recycling opportunities in your community as well as committing to recycling one new type of material.
We can all help create a cleaner environment in our communities and throughout the country.- Details
