SODAS NOT JUST BAD FOR HEALTH

Over 25 billion plastic soda bottles are sold every year in the US. That's enough to circle the Earth over 190 times, says the Waste Management Authority of San Luis Obispo, CA. More than 1.7 million plastic soda bottles are thrown away every hour in the US. The organization ecopledge.com says last year Coca-Cola announced it will have 10 percent recycled plastic in all its bottles by 2002. Pepsi should do the same, says the group. Go to ecopledge.com for companies they are boycotting and more environmental news.
