Dear friends of the CASA Collectives:

Coca-Cola and Water Resources in Chiapas

Coca-Cola is present in almost all of the 194 countries that exist in the world today. It is estimated that the average global consumption of Coke is more than 1 billion cans or bottles daily, or about 12,500 per second. And while for many of us, Coke has been a big part of our lives, the corporation that produces it does serious damage to the world's communities and resources. Coca-Cola is notorious for their anti-union stance and their affront on public health and the environment. Here in Mexico, currently the number one Coca-Cola consuming nation in the world, the situation is even more serious. The impact that Coca-Cola has had on the water supply in Mexico, and more specifically here in Chiapas, is astounding, and has created a crisis that shows no sign of improving.
