Bill, say it ain't so.
We are not the first to wonder why Bill Nye the Science Guy is the favorite TV scientist and host of the kid's show.
The video was uploaded this week to Coke's official YouTube channel, with an opening screen that proclaims "creating a world without waste."
A Nye puppet made of recycled plastic says that if we can recover and recycle plastic, we can keep it from becoming trash.
Nye takes the form of a puppet in the video. The beloved educational icon was accused of being a "shill" for Coke in a post by Gizmodo.
Coke is one of the world's biggest plastic polluters.
Coke refused to use single-use plastic in 2020. By the year 2021, it was producing as much as 3.3 million tons of plastic waste.
Humans have been finding microplastics in our blood, and even inside newborn infants. Not all of the plastic can be recycled. No plastic at all is a better solution.
Nye knows better than to sell viewers a utopian, infinite-use-plastic dream.
One viewer wrote that Bill Nye was shilling for one of the larger e-waste companies. It is nearly impossible to separate plastic waste in a way that is cost effective.
Nye raised concerns about the environment. Let's hope he hasn't been taken away by a big paycheck.
Scientists have found microplastic deep inside human lungs.
