In San Francisco on December 2nd and 3rd, protests occurred against The Coca-Cola Company along with Pepsi Co. and Nestle. These companies were challenged by a large amount of groups charging the companies with green washing and abusing water resources. These water companies were attending a conference titled "Corporate Water Footprinting: Towards a Sustainable Water Strategy" in San Francisco when the public felt that their voices needed to be heard. Information is given throughout this article that informs the public of what Coke, along with the other companies, are really doing.
"More than a billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and climate change is further depleting freshwater resources," said Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch. "Given the absence of perspectives from those without access to water, the corporate conference appears aimed more at polishing the images of some of the world's biggest water abusers rather than addressing the very real global water crisis."
The public needs to know and realize what is going on and that their beloved Coke is a bad and unethical company. Until more people start realizing this nothing will be done to stop them. Coke is the kind of company who will continue to do these awful acts until they are caught red handed and are punished for their actions.
The Coca-Cola Company has even had the nerve to formally state that they will soon be a water neutral company. The crazy part is, they have also stated to the public that they know that it is impossible to really becoming 100% water neutral yet they are still planning on going through with their statement and still plan on using it for advertisement.
This is a flat out lie that Coke has even admitted to yet they are still going to broadcast it? I will never be able to understand what goes through the minds of the people in charge at Coca-Cola.
I will definitely be able to use this article to prove my argument against Coke.
