Coca-Cola, concerned about the environment

Coca-Cola entered into a partnership with the WWF. By engaging in this partnership Coca-Cola set new objectives concerning water consumption and a reduced emission of greenhouse gases. Following this objectives they want to reduce the impact of their activities on the environment.

By 2012 Coca-Cola will try to reduce their water consumption by at least 20% despite the fact that the expansion of the company will cause an increase of the consumption. Coca-Cola also planned to reduce its emission of carbon dioxide by 5% by 2015.

Nike involved in slavery?

Child labor is still a fact! It's a world known fact that Nike uses children in it's production of it's soccer balls in Pakistan. You think this is slavery or not? Despite having laws that prohibits slavery and child labor, the government of Pakistan hasn't take any measures so far.

This fact is already known for years, so why hasn't anybody done anyhting yet? The government of Pakistan is showing lack of power and willingness to do something. Why? They don't have the resources to provide a better education, all their money goes to military business. Only 3% of the total gross domestic product goes to education! It seems that only a boycott of the united nations would be a solution to this problem.
