In an attempt to start to fight Multinational Corporations I am going to try to kick Coke out of my University (English equivalent to College). Does anyone have any suggestions that could help?

Hmm…sounds like a tough job. You can find coke bottles in the most remote parts of the earth. Does your school sell coke at the serveries? Your school might have a contract with coca-cola for its soft drinks. The only way to do it would be to educate your peers on the evils of the coca-cola corporation..of which Im not educated myself. You should educate the rethos community on the issue. But if you could create an awareness group and gather enough support to pressure the administration its totally possible. Hope you succeed in your efforts! |

I think Richard’s direction is good. Create awareness first. Make sure people know that there is good reason NOT to buy Coke. Health hazards (sugar, caffeine, etc), environmental issues (plastics, energy use to bottle, etc), and truth in advertising and packaging are a good place to start. Tell your school and peers that any company that has to have their arm twisted in order to get them to be honest about their water sources doesn’t deserve your business and can be assumed to be hiding more, and potentially worse, information. For example: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0304-04.htm And their is more. For example, check out the way they brag about employing so many people in Africa. But dig deeper and see that it’s not all that great a deal in the big picture. |

Hello again, Paul. I ran across this article today and thought you may like to add it to your armory of anti-Coke weaponry. Again, imagine what they’re doing that isn’t getting caught and announced. |
