Last month we
launched the Bring Back
Refill campaign showing how
Coke ushered in an era of throwaway plastic
packaging. Coca-Cola was once a pioneer of a
successful reuse and refill system, but ditched
that for single-use plastic, and has since
become one of the biggest plastic polluters in
the world. What is the company up to
now?
We’re starting a project documenting
Coke's advertisements and comparing their
promos, commercials and billboards with
reality.
See a
Coca-Cola ad while you’re out and about? Take a
photo!
Coke
seems to be spending a nice chunk of its PR and
marketing budget on greenwashing. The
company sponsors climate summits, touts
sustainability promises it doesn’t keep, and is
even a prominent participant in the UN
international Plastic Treaty talks this week.
But we believe there's a gap between what Coke
is saying and what it's actually
doing.
We need your
help – your eyes and ears on the ground – to
report back on what you’re seeing in the real
world. We're documenting photos of Coke ads on
posters, in magazines, on social media and more.
Then, we'll compare how the company
wants to be seen versus
reality.
We need our
entire global Community - will you join in?
Next time you see a Coke ad, snap a
photo and share it with us
here.
