a version. before judging the actions let's take a little trip. and for good to be turned 20. we travel to tanzania 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 who looks alongside reginald white wolf

11:47 am
going of climbers all smaller than their loads. but then we talk to the workers. yeah but actually it was our. enemy to me. that night. and i'm. not going to get it in the sand throughout the middle of your course that's likely. at the foot of the mountain these workers begin their final sorting session they put the colored bottles and plastic bags to one side. they put the clear bottles into large bags these bottles then go through these machines to be reduced to small pieces before they can be. recycled. and.
