Nestlé recently made a visit to our town and decided that it would make a nice place for a water harvesting project: 65 million gallons of groundwater will be pumped and trucked 120 miles over several mountain passes to a bottling plant. Then it'll be injected into plastic water bottles so it can be transported to stores and sold to people who have been fooled into buying it.
Our community is up in arms. I figure we need to hit Nestlé where it counts: If we don’t buy bottled water they might have to change their tune. Change, after all, is found in your pocket.
I began with five posters and moved on to building a website www.UglyPlasticHabit.com. Help us help the planet by getting educated, spreading the word and, above all, saying NO to bottled water!
