He graduated from the University of Iowa in 2019 with a dual degree in History and English* Bill Nye the Science Guy went from pushing climate change to helping sell more Cokes for possibly the largest plastic polluter in the world, Coca-Cola. If there were a greenwashing awards show, Bill Nye would be its host and Coca-Cola would be the winner. Greenwashing is when companies attempt to trick “consumers into thinking they are helping the planet by choosing” certain products, [according to the BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59119693?ref=goodoil.news). The Coca-Cola Company’s (Coca-Cola’s) YouTube [channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5JBB%5FE5mzPEbDupD-6fA4A?ref=goodoil.news) posted a video on April 5 called [The Coca-Cola Company and Bill Nye Demystify Recycling](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HRadzzvQNY&t=27s&ref=goodoil.news). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/bill-nye-recycling.png) The short video featured [Nye](https://billnye.com/press-kit?ref=goodoil.news) as a cutesy character made out of recycled plastic and donning a Coca-Cola themed red and white bowtie. He beamed, “When we use recycled material, we also reduce our carbon footprint. What’s not to love?” Nye all but preached from Coca-Cola’s woke pulpit: “By closing the loop \[through recycling\] we can create a world without waste. But with refreshing taste!” And according to Nye, the world can thank none other than “the good people at the Coca-Cola Company \[who\] are dedicating themselves to addressing our global plastic waste problem.” As it turns out, there is quite a lot “not to love” about Coca-Cola’s propaganda short. The Coca-Cola Company was the world’s worst plastic polluter for the fourth year in a row in 2021, according to the [environmental group](https://www.breakfreefromplastic.org/?ref=goodoil.news) Break Free From Plastic’s [annual report](https://www.breakfreefromplastic.org/2021/10/25/the-coca-cola-company-and-pepsico-named-top-plastic-polluters-for-the-fourth-year-in-a-row/?ref=goodoil.news#:~:text=October%2025%2C%202021%20%E2%80%94%20The%20Coca,for%20fueling%20the%20climate%20crisis.). Not that anyone would know that from Coca-Cola’s short ad. Nye also failed to mention that most plastics are thrown away, not recycled. The Environmental Protection Agency [reported](https://www.epa.gov/facts-and-figures-about-materials-waste-and-recycling/plastics-material-specific-data?ref=goodoil.news) in 2018 that the recycling rate was a measly 8.7 percent. ![](https://cdn.newsbusters.org/styles/blog_image_100_/s3/2022-04/Graph%20.png) Nye’s video partnership with Coca-Cola is just one small part of the company’s overall extreme green agenda. Coca-Cola linked to an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) [report](https://www.coca-colacompany.com/content/dam/journey/us/en/reports/coca-cola-business-environmental-social-governance-report-2020.pdf?ref=goodoil.news#page=35) on its [website](https://www.coca-colacompany.com/reports/business-environmental-social-governance-report-2020?ref=goodoil.news) under the tab [Sustainable Business](https://www.coca-colacompany.com/sustainable-business?ref=goodoil.news). *The Great Reset* author Longtime talk-radio host Glenn Beck [explained](https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/jeffrey-clark/2022/04/04/elon-musk-slams-corporate-woke-esg-standards-devil?ref=goodoil.news) that ESGs are like Chinese Communist Party-style social-credit scores for businesses. Creating “A World Without Waste” is just one of Coca-Cola’s six stated goals, which include reaching “net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” according to the beverage company’s 2020 ESG [report](https://www.coca-colacompany.com/content/dam/journey/us/en/reports/coca-cola-business-environmental-social-governance-report-2020.pdf?ref=goodoil.news#page=35). That same report revealed that [The Coca-Cola Foundation](https://www.coca-colacompany.com/shared-future/coca-cola-foundation?ref=goodoil.news) spent $4.7 million on social justice related issues. The company [paid](https://www.coca-colacompany.com/content/dam/journey/us/en/policies/pdf/the-coca-cola-foundation/2020-charitable-contributions-report.pdf?ref=goodoil.news) out a whopping 519 grants in the year 2020 alone, including one $25,000 grant to the radical [Ackerman Institute for the Family](https://www.ackerman.org/?ref=goodoil.news) to support “transsexual and gender expansive children” in the New York area. Almost makes a guy want [“to buy the world a Coke”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2406n8%5FrUw&ref=goodoil.news), right, Coca-Cola shareholders? Not that they or Bill Nye necessarily need the money, that is. Nye has a net worth of $8 million, [according to Celebrity Net Worth](https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/authors/bill-nye-net-worth/?ref=goodoil.news). If only climate hypocrisy could be packaged, bottled, sold and recycled, but then The Coca-Cola Company would probably try to sell that, too.
