Today, more than one billion people around the world do not have access to safe water to drink, and unless something is
done today, this problem will only get worse.
Corporate conglomerates like Coke, Pepsi, and Nestlé
are exacerbating the global water crisis by turning water into a profit driven commodity, like oil.
Bottled water corporations are threatening local control of water supplies in communities across the US and around the world.
Coke, Pepsi, and Nestlé are actively
working to mislead consumers into believing that bottled water is better for you than tap
water. These corporations have spent tens of millions of dollars to convince us that bottled water is cleaner, healthier and safer than tap water.
But in fact, bottled water is actually less regulated than public
systems. So, as these corporations profit off our water, they are undermining support for our public water
supplies and paving the way for corporate privatization of our public water systems.
Join our National Week of Action, and tell Coke, Pepsi, and Nestlé to stop misleading promotion of their bottled water brands and to stop interfering in policies that protect our water.
