In a new video, TV's favorite scientist parrots hackneyed lines about "the good people at Coca-Cola" and their near-useless recycling efforts.

This week, Coca-Cola, one of the world’s biggest plastic polluters, teamed up with TV’s favorite scientist for a campaign to create a “world without waste,” a joke of a corporate greenwashing campaign.

In a video innocuously titled “The Coca-Cola Company and Bill Nye Demystify Recycling,” an animated version of Nye—with a head made out of a plastic bottle and his signature bow tie fashioned from a Coke label—walks viewers through the ways “the good people at the Coca-Cola company are dedicating themselves to addressing our global plastic waste problem.”

    If we can recover and recycle plastic, we can [...] keep it from becoming trash

    If only we could prevent public intellectuals from becoming trash.
