Several years ago left wingers were protesting those Styrofoam containers McDonald's was using to put their burgers in. That was supposed to be a cause for the thinning of the ozone layer. (Remember the ozone layer crisis?)
Imagine the look of horror on the faces of this new crop of protesters when they find out that the bubbles in soft drinks are CO2!

The funny part about that is the foam containers McD used weren't styrofoam and no CFCs (the supposed ozone layer killer, though the science on that is highly questionable) were produced or used in their manufacturing. The extra funny part is the plastic lined paper wrappers they replaced the foam boxes with takes 10 times as long to decompose in a landfill, thus this entire "ecologically friendly" change over was actually ecologically damaging.

Most of these same protesters are also against dihydrogen monoxide (AKA hydroxylic acid or hydrogen oxide). Especially when they learn that all big corporations use plenty of it; and that it's the main greenhouse gas.
