#5 Given their disdain for at least half of America, I don't care what they use for packaging.

#6 Probably uses more total fossil fuel in the processing power and chemicals than the plastic bottles. And won't hold up to being refilled with water and stuck in your back pocket while out brush mowing.

#9 The plastic for the bottles used now is made from coal and petroleum. I worked at a chemical plant that makes the plastic for the bottles. Lots of coal goes in to them using a coal gassification process th remove the long chain hydrocarbons. We also made sucrose acetate isobutyrate, which is the basic syrup for the coca cola. Lots of 50 pound sacks of Domino sugar.
