Got Drought? Build a Coca-Cola Plant!

Got Drought? Build a Coca-Cola Bottling Plant!

San Francisco (September 24, 2009): Or at least that is the message if the Coca-Cola company is to be believed. There is a serious (and growing) disconnect between the ground reality in India as a result of Coca- Cola's operations and the company's statements churned out from their public relations department. The company is suggesting that groundwater levels around their embattled bottling plant in the desert are actually rising, and that Coca-Cola is producing enough water in that area to meet the basic drinking water needs for a million people - for an entire year! Really? Shouldn't the world then be building Coca-Cola bottling plants where we have drought? Read our opinion at http://www.indiaresource.org/campaigns/coke/2009/gotdrought.html
