Yes- the entire airline industry!ĭon’t worry, we’re not saying that you need to stop using the Internet (that would be crazy, we’re not crazy). Each spam email, Netflix binge, and Instagram refresh adds up to roughly 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is about the same as the entire airline industry. Sign and share widely to show Coca-Cola and the United Nations that they must prevent polluters from medling in urgent climate action and stop taking money to greenwash the image of major polluters.So you’ve heard about the environmental impact of plastic pollution, meat consumption, and food waste, but do you know about the environmental impact of the Internet?Īlarmingly, our digital footprints aren’t as clean as we think (for most, we haven’t even thought about it). I was a delegate at COP26 and I was driven to tears by the brazen and overwhelming presence of corporate lobbyists and CEOs fighting to protect their interests at the expense of our environment and communities. Plastic packaging, from extraction of crude oil to the shipping of plastic waste around the globe, is one of the world's largest contributers to climate change, as well as causing massive health problems and destroying vulnerable ecosystems.Ĭoca-Cola has a 30-yr long history of lobbying to derail and delay regulations and initiatives that would solve many of the problems of plastic, from efforts to weaken the EU Plastics Strategy to preventing desposit return schemes in developing nations. Much of this is generated in markets without effective waste management, meaning it ends up polluting the land, oceans and air. Today I have launched a petition to stop this madness.Ĭoca-Cola is the world's largest plastic polluter, responsible for 3 million tonnes of single-use plastic waste per year. Yesterday it was announced that The Coca-Cola Company will sponsor the UNFCCC UN COP27 Egypt climate conference in November. #climatecrisis #france #trees #firefighters Thank you Service départemental d'incendie et de secours des Bouches-du-Rhône (SDIS 13) for planting trees with us! And thank you, Sylvain Leurent for the beautiful photos. ![]() And yesterday - now that the wildfire season is over - we were finally able to begin planting.įinding the right combination of species, the right planting time, and then doing 12 media interviews in one day to explain how fires, trees and climate change are connected. They were seeing the growing impact of the climate crisis and needed support to plant native, fire-resistant species. And a group of firefighters (SDIS 13) in the Marseille region reached out. Thousands of hectares burnt and firefighters were stretched incredibly thin as they fought blazes from Bordeaux to Nice.Įcosia's Juliette Chabod set out to find a tree restoration project that would have impact and local support on the ground. This summer was one of the worst on record for wildfires in France ️□️□. We've started planting trees with firefighters □ near Marseille.
