Thank god returnable coke bottles are coming back, but it speaks volumes how difficult it is to find markets that take part.
#only small markets here and it's the biggest city in the country (brazil)#I unfortunately like the taste of coke so I keep 3 returnable bottles at a time and come in to trade each week#i feel less bad about it but I must never forget it's not my fault or my responsibility.#My 3 bottles/week pales in comparison to the shit the industry does.#but I also consider switching 100% to returnables is Voting With My Money.#companies won't care about the environment unless the consumers show that caring is profitable#so while this fucked up system is at work I will vote with my money for the business model that fucks up the world a little less.#ALSO REMEMBER: This isn't just coke it's every brand under the coca cola group.#you can also be at peace if you make sure you hand deliver PET bottles and Cans get to a recycling plant because those are recyclable.#the issue is getting them there. And as long as you separate your recycling that is the system's fault not yours.#anyway sorry I could talk about this crap at LENGHT.#rant from your neighborhood environmentalist.#know its not your fault and rally against whose fault it really is.#being blamed shouldn't be an excuse for the companies and being blameless shouldn't be an excuse for complacency.
