This AG must be severely bored. Pepsi nor any other company can control what someone does with their packaging during or after consumption.

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.
should go after all the balloon releases.

That's true. As a kid, me and my friends would go for long walks and collect bottles. Then we would cash them in at the supermarket. Those days are long gone. Now, it's plastic straight to the landfill.Cannonpointer » 20 Nov 2023, 12:04 pm » wrote: ↑ 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.
