Corporate Accountability - We need the E.P.A!

Dasani, owned by Coca-Cola, has been promising to identify its water source - municipal tap! - on product labels for over a year now. And the same goes for Pepsi’s Aquafina. Think Outside the Bottle, a campaign helmed by Boston-based consumer advocate Corporate Accountability International, have continued to pressure both companies to do so, but to no avail. There’s no law holding them accountable. Argh!  Let’s hope Lisa Jackson, Obama’s new pick to head the EPA, will create incentives to oblige these companies to tell consumers the truth. Maybe they could be forced to also include the how many million barrels of oil are annually used to just produce their plastic bottles. I can see it now -  blue and red states unifying to regulate this greedy business, and save our precious oil reserves!
