Some Info. if You Drink Nestles Brands of Bottled Water

August 26, 2017 Comments Off on Some Info. if You Drink Nestles Brands of Bottled Water

You may not even know that you do.  Nestle brands include Arrowhead, Calistoga, Deer Park, Ice Mountain, Ozarka, Poland Spring, Zephyrhills, Perrier, San Pellegrino, and Pure Life.

Nestle pays $524 a year (that’s all!) to fill bottles that cost us $2.00 each.  They take the water from the San Bernadino National Forest, draining our public watersheds.  They claim that they can do that because water doesn’t belong to anyone, ignoring the fact that the PUBLIC NATIONAL forest that is trying to recover from drought is sustained by that very water.  Topping that, they’re taking the water on an expired lease!

A group called Courage Campaign has taken Nestle to court over this in what, so far, has been a two-year battle.  Nestle is spending an unimaginable amount to fight this–at $2.00 a bottle they can afford it.

If this bothers you as much as it does me, boycott all Nestle products, especially water, and let Nestle know why you’re doing it. You can find their phone number and a contact form at https://www.nestleusa.com/info/contact-us.

We’re talking about OUR water and OUR forests!

The Truth about Nestle Bottled Water

March 5, 2014 Comments Off on The Truth about Nestle Bottled Water

Are you a fan of Calistoga bottled water?  How about Arrowhead, Ice Mountain, Ozarka, Poland Spring, or Zephyrhills?  All are brands produced by Nestle Corp. and marketed in the U.S. Nestle sells more than 65 other brands in countries besides the U.S.  Where can all that water come from? They take it from developing countries, doing great harm to natural resources and forcing the people to buy back their own water.  Take Pakistan, for example.  Nestle has taken so much water that the groundwater is reaching dangerously low levels.  The result is people’s inability to produce and earn a livelihood, pushing them into poverty.  As for the waterless land, whole areas are becoming uninhabitable.  Nestle’s CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe claims that “access to water should not be a public right.”  In other words, if you’re a large corporation, you should have the right to take a country’s water and destroy people’s lives.

If you’re not willing to give up bottled-water, avoid Nestle brands.

Also, sign the petition to Nestle executives telling them to stop stealing Pakistan’s water and driving its people into poverty and starvation.
