It is great that this video was posted. Coca-Cola must realize that they should be the one who is promoting the campaign against the using of plastics. Coca-Cola is a big company and can influence people to support the said campaign. They should set aside their business in this scenario instead they should think for the welfare of all people. In this case, maybe, many will appreciate their actions and effort.

It is sad to know that they wanted to remove just because a sponsor doesn’t like it. The video is for us humans to live and that sponsor only wants is business. I will share this to my friends and hopefully everyone will realize that we should do our part in saving this planet.

Thanks for posting this! I’m passing it along to a few of my Idol fan friends who raise their eyebrows at me for refusing plastic & styrofoam, in the hope that maybe their idols will inspire them if I can’t!

wish corporations would use more of their extensive resources toward creating a sustainable society, rather than fighting to preserve our disposable-crazy present culture!!

this is really awful………I feel sure it will backfire on the sponsors, or maybe the old adage that any publicity is good publicity, is applying here.

It happens to a lesser degree in Australia where beverage companies have been trying to prevent a container deposit scheme to commence in the NT. Although they seem to now have backed off.

Good luck and i hope you succeed in leaving it there.

These large corporate sponsors think they can throw their bottom line obsessed weight around and control the message. Impossible these days. This may actually be the best possible PR for the PPC message and American Idol video.

Thanks for getting this news out there so quickly, Beth. What craziness. These large corporate sponsors think they can throw their bottom line obsessed weight around and control the message. Impossible these days. This may actually be the best possible PR for the PPC message and American Idol video. We’ve posted your post on FB and Tweeted it. And will put it in our next newsletter.
