What the heck is wrong with us? When did we get the idea that water in a plastic bottle was a good idea? Where do people who buy it think the water comes from? Do they think that we can't run out of water on this planet?

There are ways to improve our water supply. We have the technology to do it. Our government sends out to other countries a moble water purification system to help places that have been devastated by hurricane, floods, tornadoes, earth quakes and other disasters where water is compromised.

People can purchase a reusable water bottle and fill it. It cost less in the long run. And people who are steeling water and profiting from it. We the consumer does not get any of the profit but we do contribute to Nestles profit with every bottle we purchase.

There are situations that bottled water is needed. But that is hopefully short term. Indigenous peoples have every right to say NO to these companies. Many Indigenous people don't have access to clean water and they are in need of their own purification system. I wonder if a big conglomerate would step up to the plate and help get a long term solution for these reserves. And provide these people with some of the water they bottle free of charge until either they provide a purification system and get it up and running.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

They steel our natural resource and give us pollution in the form of plastic bottles.

Money, money, money that's all Nestles and other companies like them think of.

It is a sad world we live in and it would be even sadder if we let Companies like Nestles take our water for profit and pollution.
