KFC and Cole

In March 2011, elementary student Cole and three of his friends traveled from North Carolina to the KFC headquarters in Louisville, KY to deliver over 6000 hand-drawn postcards from youth across the South asking the company to be an environmental leader for change. Watch this inspiring story and share it with your friends, children, grandchildren, and join Cole in taking action!

Thanks kids, I'm tearing up. I was just like you, and I still feel the same way. Your work is so important, don't get discouraged! I'm getting a political science degree because I want to understand how power works, we all need to be educated about the impact of our choices. Thanks also to the teacher (Ms. Beard), you are an inspiration! Much of my awareness about abuse of power comes from a couple teachers that cared. Keep on teaching, keep on learning, keep on caring about our world!

@creamsodaistasty wrong? No I am not at all. I work with PCRM and other doctors which you can find online that KFC is the worst food. They have been sued. KFC will not change. I am not a great supporter of PETA yet they are suing KFC too. I am a vegan and I feel amazing. Please try to feel compassion for all beings.

Keep learning Cole... You will make much more and greater impacts on our ever changing world. I'm proud of you.

While I am totally impressed by Cole and the other kids, and am completely inspired... I do have a few suggestions. What if Cole's parents taught him hemp was 4 times more recyclable then pine pulp and used fewer chemicals. What if... Cole was taught that he was bribed by KFC with that fancy gift certificate, and he ripped it up on camera and vowed to never eat there until KFC changed. What if Cole understood the greater harm KFC does when people eat the food due to the quality of their food.
