If you like Coffee you understand that the
richest Coffee retailer on Earth is the Nestlé company.
So rich in fact they now want to buy our water sources
and sell the water back to us in their small plastic bottles.
I suggest we stop buying their
Coffee until they stop trying to dominate our natural clean water
sources. I also suggest that world government politicians
wake up from deep slumber and create millions of
Salt water desalination plants before the land based
clean water supplies dry up. They can use the
proposed Oil pipelines for water distribution networks.
I have yet to see anybody enjoy a nice cold glass of Oil! ->
Dear JOSEPH Raglione,
Nestlé subsidiary Poland Spring set its sights on the tiny town of Fryeburg, Maine, USA nearly a decade ago, pushing to build a huge bottling plant and take long-term control over the town's spring water. Nestlé has sued the small town multiple times, arguing that its right to grow market share is more important than the town's right to self-determination.
Nestlé wants to lock up its control over Fryeburg’s water with a contract that -- including extensions -- lasts until 2057.
This lifetime contract would be
unprecedented in North America
and would be a major victory for
water privatization companies."
->This is a story that has to be told because water is a human necessity for basic survival.
It is also a human right and I honestly believe privatizing and selling water is basically a criminal action! Today, the plastic litre water bottle is in almost every store and restaurant and I
wonder what will happen when the price of bottled water slowly begins to climb? Exactly how much economic and political power do you want to give private water bottling companies?
Tell Nestlé and Poland Spring to stop bullying the people of Fryeburg.
Nestlé has tried every trick of the trade in fighting Fryeburg, relentlessly working to grind down and bankrupt opposition in the town with a wave of lawsuits. The corporation has found itself shut out of fifty-year contracts, so it is pushing a 25 year contract -- with four five-year extensions -- to test the limits of how long it can lock up water before people fight back.
Nestlé has also sunk deep into Maine politics, but local activists have been fighting back and are winning victories. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the deciding members of the Maine Public Utilities Commission -- the body that would rule on Nestlé's Fryeburg fight -- had connections to the corporation, forcing the Commission to recluse itself from the case. This month, the entire membership of the Fryeburg Water District resigned under threat of recall. This relentless pressure is having an effect, and we need to keep it up.
If Nestlé sees that its bullying is hurting its global brand, the company will rethink its strategy of taking Fryeburg's water. Nestlé is trying to retell the Story of water, saying it's a good up for sale to the highest bidder. This way, Nestlé gets it for a steal, pumps aquifers dry, and then moves on to the next town. In places like Fryeburg, people are taking a stand and saying "Not here. Not anywhere." Please join them today.
Tell Nestlé and Poland Spring to stop the attempt to lock up Fryeburg's water until 2057.
Thanks for all you do!
Nestlé has sued this small town five times, arguing its right to grow market share is more important than the peoples' wishes.
Tell Nestlé and Poland Spring bottled water to stop bullying Fryeburg, Maine.
