Damn, things must be pretty slow in the New York AG's Office. The lawyers and staff get to go on field trips to the river and count trash!  I wonder if they bothered to look up Pepsico's ESG Rating? Number 39 out of 626 for this industry.
So, which brand is more racist? Pepsi or Coke?

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Pepsi and Frito-Lay, blaming them for "plastic pollution."

This comes after James's office performed a survey across 13 sites along the Buffalo River that found Pepsi's single-use packaging contributed to over 17% of trash. This was three times larger than the next company's products.

 "No company is too big to ensure that their products do not damage our environment and public health. All New Yorkers have a basic right to clean water, yet PepsiCo's irresponsible packaging and marketing endanger Buffalo's water supply, environment, and public health," James said. "No one should have to worry about plastics in their drinking water, plastic garbage littering their scenic riverfront, or plastic pollution harming wildlife. I will never hesitate to take on major corporations that put the health and safety of everyday New Yorkers and our planet at risk."

Pepsi assured the Washington Examiner that it is committed to reducing pollution and increasing recycling effectiveness. On Thursday, it announced it was increasing its quarterly dividend by 10% compared to last year, bringing it up by $1.265 per share.

This lawsuit is seeking compensatory damages as a result of "the harm done to the Buffalo River and its shoreline, and the citizens and inhabitants of the City of Buffalo," but the fine will be determined at trial. James is also requiring that the companies make better efforts to prevent pollution and have adequate warnings about whether their products can be recycled.

Well, this household had a good eye roll!
Court room activism has become the norm.

What's even sadder is it's by choice!

I have a 200 mile minimum limit on living close to urban sprawl.

Yes, it is a choice.   Even more sad is how it is wholly 

accepted at all levels of society and governance.

"it is what it is".   

We dont even expect better any more.

The state allows disposable containers, because the industry bribed the state to do so.

If the state cared about litter, it would require returnable bottles and cans with a deposit.

It doesn't care - the rest of this is theater.
When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice

"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"

You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.

Who cuts off your dick is not a friend

An opinion you won't defend is not your own

Humanity's Law of the Jungle: Survival NOT of the fittest, but of the tribe

When peeing in the pool, stand on the edge

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?

Grand Junction, Co. Is about as close as you can get to being in the middle of nowhere and the first thing we noticed was the absence of trash. Not to far west in Utah there is one of those " no service for 100 miles" signs on I-70. Great playground if you like the desert.
