A state government recommended Tuesday that Coca-Cola’s Indian subsidiary be fined $47 million for damage to the water and soil in a southern Indian village that it said had been caused by one of the company’s bottling plants. The plant, which opened in 2000 and closed five years later, polluted the groundwater and soil around the village of Plachimada, in the state of Kerala.
I think it is good that Coca- Cola is being fined for polluting the water and soil. The company is a very wealthy corporation, and they should be more concerned with the protection of the envirnment. It is good they are paying for their wrong doing.
