The city of Miami Beach is breaking up with Coca-Cola as the city’s exclusive water and soft drink sponsor after Coke wouldn’t reduce the plastic packaging for its products. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – The city of Miami Beach is breaking up with Coca-Cola as the city’s exclusive water and soft drink sponsor after Coke wouldn’t reduce the plastic packaging for its products. And every year, thousands of plastic bottles and caps pollute our backyard and are among the top three collected items on all cleanups. “I gave them a goal that we should get plastic-free at least 100% at some point during the contract,” Miami Beach Commissioner David Richardson said. Now it’s game on as Miami Beach is encouraging other cities to do the same.
