I am writing to urge the Environmental Registry to deny Blue Triton’s application for a permit to take Ontario ground water for 10 years.
Our ground water belongs to all Ontarians and will be required to sustain us in the future. There is no longer any justification for selling it to private companies for the purpose of making a profit. These aquifers cannot be assured to be replenished in the future due to development and climate change. It is a precious resource that we must protect for our children and grandchildren.
The destructive amount of single use plastics used in the bottling of water also presents a serious environmental risk.
Water has always been plentiful in Ontario, but the world is changing and you cannot assume that it is an unlimited resource. Please look at the science and do not make a decision that may have devastating consequences in the future.
