{Communities} Think Outside the Bottle

“How can water, which supposedly is held in trust by the state for the people, be sold to a foreign corporation, or any corporation, without a vote by the people?

We soon learned that Nestlé was preying on other small towns around the country.”
~Debra Anderson, resident of McCloud, California

Across North America, the world’s largest food and beverage corporation, Nestlé, is staking claim to community water resources.

In the worst cases, Nestlé’s water grab is ruining streams, ponds, wells and aquifers. And in all cases, Nestlé’s practices are raising serious questions about who should be allowed to control water, our most essential resource, and to what end.

Will it be corporations like Nestlé or the communities that rely upon this most essential resource for their health, livelihood and well being?
