TAKE ACTION!  Speak out against Coke’s reckless anti-recycling lawsuit!  Coca-Cola, the world’s largest beverage company, is suing to crush the world’s best recycling program.  When a state government in Australia considered creating a 10-cent refund on recycling plastic bottles, Coca-Cola poured money into a misleading campaign to oppose the plan. Then, when common sense won out and the plan passed, Coke sued the government to stop the program.
