Hi Gloria, can’t wait to check out your “Value [the] Meal” campaign. I didn’t know about Pepsi trying to go green. Isn’t that tacky when they are disingenuous.
I love drinking Pepsi on occasion, and give them props for admitting their bottled water is tap water. http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/07/27/pepsico.aquafina.reut/ There were only two water bottling companies who admitted this on 20/20. That’s kahunas from Pepsi, but the yoga mat? C’mon that is cheesy.How could I ever do the “Downward Facing Dog” position and on my return from the fetal position blow out some big ol Pepsi burp. Nahhh…just aint happening. Thanks again Gloria! ….Jerry Hart

Hey Hartofgreen,

I saw that spoof the other day- The Onion is brilliant :)

This is such blatant green washing, I’m left speechless. If you’re eco-conscious enough to drive an electric car, you shouldn’t be contributing to one of the most toxic transnationals out there. Fast food giants and their marketing muscle, I’m fed up with it.

This reminds me of Pepsi’s ridiculous “au natural” campaign where they essentially slapped their logo on yoga mats and expected people to forge a connection.

A non-profit called Corporate Accountability International just launched a clever campaign against fast food called “Value [the] Meal”- you should check them out if you’re interested! http://stopcorporateabuse.org/food-campaign
