India Bans Coca-Cola After Soda Giant Drains Water Resources
Traders in India are boycotting Coca-Cola en masse after the soda giant was caught draining the country’s scarce water resources. Over one million traders in India have vowed to boycott fizzy drinks manufacturers such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and will replace them with locally produced soft drinks instead. The Guardian reports: “These foreign companies are using up scarce water resources of the state,” said K Mohan, secretary of the Vanigar Sangam, one of the associations supporting the boycott.
