"Move the Mountain" - Pepsi National Day of Action!

Do you know where bottled water comes from? Probably not, right? Well, you’re not alone. Bottled water giants like Pepsi, Coke, and Nestlé don’t readily disclose the sites and sources of the water that’s bottled.

And in fact, bottled water corporations prefer to spend tens of millions of dollars every year on misleading ads that undermine confidence in our public water systems. For example, the most popular bottled water brand, Pepsi’s Aquafina, is just processed tap water, despite the image of the snow-capped mountain that appears on every label.

Join our Pepsi Day of Action! Ask Pepsi when it will Move the Mountain off its Aquafina label and when it will reveal the sites and sources of the water it bottles.

We know that Pepsi is paying attention to this: Now we need your help to step up the pressure!

Background

Think Outside the BottleAds do not disclose that more than one-fourth of bottled water sold in the U.S. comes from municipal sources, just like tap water.

Think Outside the Bottle Pepsi’s Aquafina label features a beautiful picture of a snow-covered mountain, even though Aquafina is filtered municipal tap water.

Think Outside the Bottle Bottled water corporations spent $158 million on advertising in 2005, promoting bottled water as better than tap water and undermining confidence in our public water systems.

Think Outside the Bottle Bottled water corporations are changing the way people think about water. Today, three of four Americans drink bottled water, and one in five drink only bottled water.

Sample Script 

Hi, my name is ________. I’d like to speak to CEO Indra Nooyi, please.

You will likely be asked what the question is, or to leave a message:

I want to ask Ms. Nooyi, when will Pepsi remove the snow-capped mountain logo from Aquafina as a step toward revealing the sites and sources of water used for bottling? After all, Aquafina uses municipal water as its source.

If Pepsi representative responds:

I’m joining other people around the country who believe water is a fundamental human right that must not be turned into a for-profit commodity. Please share my question and comment with CEO Nooyi.
