Forgive me my choice of words. I erred by going for an image, rather than for strict accuracy.
Look out your window. Do you see a bottling factory? Then that can of carbonated corn syrup got shipped to you, probably over some distance. That is not "green" by any stretch of the imagination.
By the way, I'm not knocking people for enjoying carbonated beverages. They just shouldn't claim they're being "green" by e.g., recycling the container, or making the container in a slightly different fashion.

The water in the diet coke I drink travelled, from reservoir to bottling plant to distribution plant to store to me, a total distance of under 100 km. Compare that to someone drinking tap water in Phoenix, and tell me who has the greater environmental impact.
