I am writing to show my support for NOT allowing corporations to deplete Ontario's supply of drinking water so that they can bottle it and sell it back to us. Personally I think the use of commercially sold bottled water is necessary for most people most of the time. It has become commonplace just because it is convenient. But there is a severe price for that convenience including the creation of bottles, which although they may be intended to be recycled, they often are not. They wind up in garbage dumps or worse on streets, lakes, rivers, etc. But even if the production and reuse of bottles was not a problem, the idea of allowing corporations to buy the water so they can sell it back to us is wrong in my opinion. In most locations in Ontario, people have access to drinkable tap water. We can fill containers from our taps and take them with us if we want water when we are away from home. We should be encouraging people to do just that rather than making it easier for corporations to sell us our water. And we should also be doing more to make sure that communities that don't have drinkable water do have drinkable water, including those who live on reservations!
