Extinction Rebellion's latest stunt saw the group target London Fashion Week, pouring 'oil' from giant Coca-Cola bottles on the red carpet
"London Fashion week should be ashamed of having them as a sponsor. They should not be helping Coca-Cola's image. They are doing a lot of harm and it needs to stop."
The eco-group's latest campaign targets major corporations who continue to use of fossil fuels to power factories which create the plastics used in its products. The stunt saw the group of eco-zealots demand the drinks giant be dropped as a sponsor of London Fashion Week.Ms van de Geer continued: "Governments are not listening to protesters like ourselves. It’s absolutely devastating. When we started in 2018 we didn't think we would have to be here five years later.
"We’re very close and teetering on the edge of a climate change catastrophe and we should all be terrified. But we have to let that fear move us into action rather than apathy of feeling overwhelmed."The drinks giant added it continues to pledge it will collect and recycling "a bottle or can for every one we sell by 2030".
