Thank you for sharing that. I did notice coca-cola is a sponsor. They’re one of the largest plastic polluters in the world and a massive contributor to our current situation. Do you think that’s because they’re trying to make change, or trying to whitewash their responsibility?
Exactly, any massive corporation doing anything charitable is nearly always for the PR. If a company like Coca-Cola suddenly switched to all glass, even if it cost them profits, that would be incredible. If anyone running these corporations really cared about helping they would do more drastic things like that.

my take is white-washing. if they actually wanted to make a change, they could stop selling plastic bottles at any time.

I mostly agree with the other commenter. They ideally would revert to glass bottles.
