Got Drought? Build a Coca-Cola Plant!
Got Drought? Build a Coca-Cola Bottling Plant!
San
Francisco (September 24, 2009): Or at least that is the
message if the Coca-Cola company is to be believed. There
is a serious (and growing) disconnect between the ground
reality in India as a result of Coca- Cola's operations and
the company's statements churned out from their public
relations department. The company is suggesting that
groundwater levels around their embattled bottling plant in
the desert are actually rising, and that Coca-Cola is
producing enough water in that area to meet the basic
drinking water needs for a million people - for an entire
year! Really? Shouldn't the world then be building
Coca-Cola bottling plants where we have drought? Read our
