“While the Bush administration and Congress take their cues on
global warming from ExxonMobil, Southern Company and the auto
industry, it’s good to see Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Unilever
stepping up with solutions. We look forward to continued work with
these companies to reduce global warming emissions.
“Today’s EPA Climate Protection Award is an important
acknowledgement of the progress these companies have made to date
in developing more climate friendly refrigeration. Now, however, is
the true test of Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Unilever’s commitment to
confronting this issue; we urge them to implement this technology
in North America, where its use is most important, as quickly as
possible.”
“We also call upon the Bush administration to support climate
friendly refrigeration as part of broader strategy to combat global
warming.
“As always, Greenpeace approaches our relationships with these
corporations very deliberately and seriously. While we are proud of
our continuing work with Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Unilever on
green refrigeration technology, it is obviously not a Greenpeace
stamp of approval on the overall environmental and social
footprints of these companies.”
