Ethical cola

If you are a cola drinker, you may be interested to know about a couple of alternatives to the big-brands such as Coke and Pepsi. Both Mecca-Cola and Qibla Cola are claiming to be an ethical alternative to their more well-known competitiors. Mecca-Cola claims to give 10% of profits to charities operating in the Palestinian territories and a further 10% to European NGOs, while Qibla Cola is promising 10% of profits will go to good causes in each country that the product is distibuted.

Presumably, there will be no violent or underhanded repression of trade unions from these companies, either.
