Polar Bears inspire Coca-Cola to turn red cans white for WWF

Well, I don’t know about where you are, but in these parts, it’s pretty clear that winter’s on its way. As I drove into work this morning, the temperature was a bleak and shivery -6C. And during my weekend errand runs I was treated to sights of holiday decorations that put me in mind of those wonderful Coca-Cola commercials, remember the ones? With the animated polar bears all having fun, then settling down and drinking a cold Coke?

In the market for change: Notes from WWF’s economics intern

It’s been four months since I started my journey with WWF in St. John’s, Newfoundland and I have to say, four months do fly by so quickly especially when you’re not looking. It’s funny how a short time ago I wasn’t sure what to expect from my supervisor and colleagues and now, we’re like one big family.
