Please do not allow BlueTriton permission for a 10-year renewal of Nestlé’s permit to take water out of Ontario for bottling.
Not only does bottled water contribute greatly to our climate emergency, this will also ignore Indigenous sovereignty (The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking the water.)
Water should be a human right, not a commodity to be bought and sold - especially when it is on Indigenous land. Our First Nations relations do not even have their own safe drinking water.
It is extremely shameful that rich companies should benefit from the sale of drinking water, instead of addressing the water issues of the communities in the area they are extracting from. We would be so much better off if resources were used in an fair way, in which everybody wins!
