Since 2014, when a one-cent-per-ounce tax on all sugar-sweetened beverages was implemented in Berkeley, the tax was shown to discourage sugary drink purchases and increase sales of other beverages such as water. UC Berkeley’s pouring rights contract with PepsiCo outlines the beverage selection provided on campus.

If we truly care about the health of our campus community and care to uphold UC Berkeley’s reputation as a leader in sustainability, it’s time to start thinking about why a PepsiCo sponsorship does not meet our vision of fostering a sustainable, healthy campus for all. 

Although Berkeley's weather is not quite up to date with summer, there is no doubt that soon, we’ll have the perfect weather to dip our toes in the water.

As our school’s motto goes, “Let there be light” — and where there is light, there are moths. Recently, there's been a boom of moth-related memes circulating the interwebs, and so to add onto the joke, here's what would happen if a moth attended UC Berkeley as a student.

I had to adjust to a few things when I moved to Berkeley: getting over the time difference, dealing with my student visa, being independent for the first time and growing used to a snowless winter.

A study on the effects of Berkeley’s soda tax found that the tax has discouraged residents from purchasing sugar-sweetened beverages, but it hasn’t negatively impacted the local businesses that sell it.

A recent study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, or CSPI, reported that the American Beverage Association, PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola have spent about $67 million since 2009 to oppose soda taxes and warning labels in 19 cities and states.

A study released Wednesday found that the retail price of sugar-sweetened beverages in Berkeley increased more than in nearby cities after Berkeley residents voted in November to tax these beverages.
