John, wow, it’s so great to be emailing you.
Because what a summer we’ve had at Coca-Cola. We had an absolute blast in Geneva at the Global Plastics Treaty. I know! What was the world’s worst plastic polluter (6 years in a row!) doing at an international meeting of governments aimed at reducing plastic pollution??
It was SO nice to see all our buddies from the Chemical and Fossil Fuel Industry though - we had a good laugh outnumbering actual scientists - nearly four to one!
What a SHAME that treaty fell through.
But hey - we ARE proud to announce our latest step towards sustainability: smaller plastic bottles made with slightly less new plastic! If you can just ignore the recent report that exposed we’d actually increased virgin plastic use by 10% last year (and forget we promised to reduce it by 20% by 2025) that would be really great.
All in a day’s work when plastic = profit. Never mind the human health costs. The deadly impact on birds, fish and animals. To be honest - we just avoid the beach so we're not surrounded by Coca-Cola bottles.
John, the LAST thing we’d want is for anyone to stand in our way and force us to take actual responsibility for the mountains of waste we’re funneling into the ocean.
It would really be a shame if the Surfers Against Sewage community rallied together in their thousands and donated to the People vs. Plastic Big Give Appeal - where for one week only, every single donation is doubled…! 'Tis the season of giving back after all...
Oh no - don't donate £20 doubled to £40
Oh no - don't donate £30 doubled to £60
Oh no - don't donate £50 doubled to £100
