The similarity between what Red Bull did and what Honda did (and still do) was that they radically changed their livery in order to make a cause heard. Both causes are separate and unrelated to each other.

And today, Red Bull have announced a similar scheme [to Honda] that will hopefully raise a lot of money for Wings for Life – a charity which supports those affected by spinal cord injuries.

Look at any can of Red Bull all around the world. Any can sold anywhere by Red Bull Gmbh is made in Austria. So they ship them all to North, Central, and South America. They ship them to New Zealand and Australia. They ship them all over Europe. In SE Asia it's difficult to find a Red Bull that is not made by the original company which Red Bull Gmbh bought the formula from. Aside from the original Red Bull, not Red Bull Gmbh which makes the slender silver and blue cans, there is NO regional production of Red Bull which means that they have to ship the product everywhere. This may be to create jobs in Austria but at what cost to the environment? g Do you think Red Bull Gmbh really gives a darn-didly-arn about carbon emissions?
