Message To Coke: What The World Needs Now Is Respect For Human Rights

While traveling in India during 2003 one of the biggest concerns brought to our attention again and again was the shortage of water for farmers and concerns that Coca-Cola has been responsible for some of those shortages and for creating high levels of pollution around their factories. The maker of “Coke’ has restricted water rights to farmers, according to human rights campaigners and church officials, in partnership with a government desperate for cash and willing to do nearly anything for a soda maker in need of water. Crops have died because of the water shortage and a population with hunger issues has grown hungrier. This Earth Day Sunday you can make a difference. Read about the issue and then send a message to Coca-Cola telling them to respect human rights and the environment in India.
