This is an industry that is an environmental disaster as it takes 2 litres of water to create the plastic bottle that another litre of water goes into. The 24/7 heavy trucks on the roads shipping water across the country emit and damage roads and bridges. Thus the taxpayer pays for this industry by paying tax dollars to mitigate the damage and harms to the environment.

That much plastic is a nightmare as recycling is not an effective alternative. It ends up in our landfills, waterways, and lakes on its way to the ocean. Humans are eating, drinking and now breathing in microplastics constantly. This is an industry that must be held accountable for the destruction it causes and creates. Please deny further depletion of groundwater and the proliferation of plastic pollution by denying this permit.
