two thumbs up for coca cola

This is something I have yet to see but I am really glad coca-cola did this. Beverage giant Coca-Cola Philippines teamed up with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) to create the very first plant billboard in the country. A 60 x 60 ft. plant billboard , located along Northbound EDSA - Forbes:








The green stuff around the Coca-Cola bottle are Fukien tea plants. Keeping the environment in mind, recyclable materials were used to make this billboard. Recycled bottles of various Coca-Cola products were used as pots for 3,600 plants. Fukien tea plant is a popular choice for bonsai hobbyists. Up close they look like this :



It is said that this billboard can help lessen air pollution by absorbing approximately 46,800 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a year. Aesthetically and environmentally pleasing! Truly a sight to behold!
