Coca-Cola Great Britain supports WWF’s Earth Hour 2011
Coca-Cola Great Britain today announces its support for WWF’s fifth annual Earth Hour, taking place from 8.30pm-9.30pm on Saturday 26 March 2011. WWF is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011, and will once again ask one billion people across the world to switch off their lights for one hour in support of action to tackle climate change and protect the natural world.Flashback: Coca - Cola Admits That Dasani is Nothing But Tap Water

In addition, Coca-Cola will once again turn off its iconic Piccadilly Circus sign for the full sixty minutes of Earth Hour at 8.30pm on Saturday 26, the fifth time the sign has been switched off since World War II.
LONDON - It made for great headlines, but the fact that the UK version of Coca-Cola's Dasani brand bottled water comes out of the London public supply should hardly have come as a surprise.

I worked on the Coke Picadilly Circus LED screen. It consumes 40KW for the remaining 8759 hours each year. That's 1200GWHr per year - enough to power 82,000 homes for a year.
Of course this figure is dwarfed by energy required to make, transport and market Coke's sugar water all over the world. So why are they campaigning against cheap energy while hypocritically using vast amounts of it to make their products?
