fair. if you. there. before judging the actions let's take a little trip. unforgettable. we travel to tanzania a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes unspoiled beaches and the best safaris in africa.
8:36 pm
however what this promotional film does not specify is that tanzania is also the incredible land of coca-cola. here everyone waits for red and white buses hoops alongside reginald white wolf and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there a while you almost stopped noticing it. the good news is that in this country you can still find coke bottles made out of reusable glass but this will soon be over. for the american company is doing in tanzania what it did in the united states fifty years ago replacing the glass bottles with plastic ones.

8:40 pm
here are the real results of coca cola's famous recycling business and just by looking at the waste collectors we were told about it's clear that the recycling business is fast and foremost a poverty economy. during the great depression which old mr remember there was most of my family were unemployed. and it wasn't it was bit you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy
