See the Anti-Litter Ad Banned by Channel 9

Untitled-2


Channel 9 has refused to run a terrific advertisement by Greenpeace that publicises Coca Cola's opposition to a container deposit recycyling scheme in Australia*.  It's definitely worth viewing: sea birds feature, and by doing so you increase the count for numbers of people that have watched the clip.   http://youtu.be/Q7Uxaw6YoRw

* Having deposits on containers is the best way to recycle bottles and cans, which make up a large volume of litter in waterways like Merri Creek.  We needed this scheme in Victoria at least 20 years ago, but pressure from the beverage industry has stopped it from happening (just like they stopped the ad on Channel 9).  

Let's use people power to get container deposits in Victoria NOW!
