Coca-Cola using biofeul in local trucks

Finally!!! Something good i can write about Coca-Cola! Even though this does not help my argument i thought it was interesting that Coca-Cola is, in fact, actually trying to save the ecosystem and not just lying to the world again.

So The Coca-Cola Company in Seacoast has just this month joined up with Simply Green Biofeuls to work together to help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Seacoast is one of the areas largest and well-known trucking fleets so this is great news! "Each truck that runs from Coke's Seabrook fleet will now be powered by Simply Green's biodiesel, reducing each truck's carbon dioxide emissions by 3.92 percent." The Coca-Cola Company in Seacoast is doing so much more than just now using biofeuls though. Just over a year ago they began doing things around the warehouse a lot more efficiently. They started picking up their own recyclable materials from its customers and also installed motion light detectors. both of these minor changes made such a big change to the work place and to the environment. Electricity bills went down by more than 30% in the first month alone after the motion light detectors were put into place. And by helping out and picking up people recyclables, this means less gas being used from all the people who would have drove to recycle sights and it even helps if peopel weren't going to recycle in the first place! All around, Seacoast Coca-Cola is doing good things. This is great to hear and report on after all the horrible facts i have come across with Coca-Cola. It is nice to see that they are doing something good. Now if only they can just fix everything and than i will love them again! Like i said before, this article doesn't help my argument at all but i thought it was interesting to see how much one Coca-Cola plant has done to make a difference!
