Coca-Cola Saves The World
- wglb 13y agoWhat is missing is the partnership that they have with Dean Kamen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Kamen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Kamen to place his water purification technology http://www.dekaresearch.com/water.shtml http://www.dekaresearch.com/water.shtml in places that have no access to drinkable water. Dean points out that no organization has the worldwide logistical footprint of Coca-Cola.

Simon Berry had this idea over 30 years ago. http://www.colalife.org/ http://www.colalife.org/ Coca cola faces heavy criticism in some countries for giving away toxic waste byproducts to local farmers as fertilizer - thus getting rid of waste on the cheap and causing even more environmental destruction. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3096893.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3096893.stm $76m per year is an insultingly small amount for a company that does so much environmental harm and who make so much money. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad they do it and i wish more companies did the same. But how many hours does it take Coca Cola to make $76m in profit?
