Waste isn't inherently bad, littering is. It's not Coca Cola's fault that people throw away plastic bottles into the rainforest, oceans or other fragile ecosystems.
No, but it definitely should be in Coca Cola's charter to explore and invest in biodegradable alternatives. And the only way to hold such immense companies to their environmental responsibilities is either regulation or consumer perception.
Is this more of a realpolitik environmentalism? I can see how it’s easier to legally pressure Coca Cola than to enforce littering fines & proper landfill practices globally. But it’s still not morally Coca Cola’s fault that lazy consumers litter.
