Coca-Cola Does It’s Part to Reduce Carbon Emissions
We here at KIWI don’t usually cheer for sugar-laden sodas, but we’re giving two thumbs up to the latest eco-conscious effort by Coca-Cola.
Studies have shown that, if left unchecked, hydrofluorocarbons will be responsible for between 28%-45% of carbon emissions by 2050—so we’re thrilled to hear that the bottled-beverage giant has announced plans to make it’s vending machines free of the compound by 2015. Within six years’ time, the company will distribute new, greener vending machines that’ll reduce a drink dispenser’s carbon footprint by a whopping (ready for this?) NINETY-NINE PERCENT!
Coca-Cola hopes that this step will inspire other beverage companies to take HFC emissions seriously and take action to make their carbon footprints smaller, too.

I’m glad this company as well as many others are finding it important to be sustainable. A makeup distributor called repurify has done similar, donating a portion of its proceeds to the companies that supply them with their makeup to conduct research to make their products not only more green but healthier to their customers.
