3:36 am
a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes unspoiled beaches and the best so far is in africa. 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 red and white wolves and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there awhile you will stop noticing it. the good news is that in this country you can still find coke bottles made out of reusable glass but this will all soon be over.

3:40 am
big cycle. now that our factory visit is finished we can finally show you the wonders of the forgettable tanzania. unforgettable time that we need. 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. what politicians do emotionally to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich.
