becoming less and less over time but we still see in countries around the world a tremendous stigma of not wanting to tell other people, not wanting to get the clear diagnosis. >> reporter: the report says that by the year 2050, a staggering 115 million people will have alzheimer's disease. the rising numbers are due to the world's aging population, but also, increasing risk factors. >> high blood pressure. diabetes. and obesity. and those four factors do increase your risk for getting brain disease later in life. >> reporter: there are many alzheimer's medications but they alleviate the

more soldiers to get the upper hand on al qaeda as well as taliban insurgents. >> the situation is deteriorated on the ground. you have the taliban that has regained footholds in parts of the country in the south and in the east. they have gotten better at what they do. >> reporter: mccrystal is 1 also calling for a change in strategy that includes building a relationship with the afghan people, so they don't view the u.s. as the enemy. mccrystal's report was supposed to be confidential. but parts of it were leaked to the press and that is creating a political headache for the president. a growing number of democrats want to put the brakes on our involvement in afghanistan while republicans are demanding more forces to fight the war now entering its ninth year. >> so the challenge for

surprised to find so many tiny items came in boxes that were way too big. >> reporter: for example, this package from drugstore .com contains just one lip balm. and this box from avon arrived with just one lip balm, too. inside this box from oriental trading company, one small vial of beads and look at this box from staples, it could easily fit 200 pencils but contained just one. >> we consulted a packaging expert and we found that companies can save money if they buy the same size boxes for everything they ship. >> but not every package arrives oversized. this small pack of batteries ordered from keytar came in a small shipping envelope. less packaging could make a real difference if we cut back the use of cardboard from 100 tons to 90, and it would save more than 5300 pounds of waste, 20,000 gallons of waste water, and more than 34,000 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent. >> now some companies like avon, staples and lands' end told consumer reports they recycle
