And don’t forget about the additional oil it takes to turn those plants into plastic! Greenwashing at its worst–

I was excited when I first saw these bottles, then I thought about the wording, “up to 30%” also means “less than 30%”. It’s easy to glance at the bottle and assume it means it’s made of at least 30% plant-based plastic, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual organic content is closer to just above 0%.

You know what else used to make me scream at TJ’s? Some of the locations would use bottled water to fill up the water dispensing jug for the customers. They’d go through cases a day, just so customers could have a drink while they were shopping. I started calling locations and talking to store managers to do some investigating for a story, and within a week, my local TJ’s had installed a filtered tap water system. Very mysterious…

You are so funny and completely right! Damn if Coca Cola isn’t trying to ruin the world.

Bottled water is one of my biggest pet peeves and when I see people buying cases of it at Trader Joes I want to…scream

The rant is a good one. Are the doing the same for their other drink products…the ones we get just get from the tap? If so, that would be a big step…and not smack quite so much of greenwashing. If not, why not?
