Nestle has issues
I just got this email from Food and Water Watch about the infant tantrums that John J. Harris over at Nestle is throwing because people in Miami-Dade county are being encouraged to drink tap water.
Residents of Miami-Dade recently heard a public service announcement encouraging them to drink their tap water and reminding them that bottled water doesn’t go through the same stringent testing as tap water. It’s a good message — so good that it’s got corporate water baron Nestlé shooting off geysers.
Nestlé wrote to the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WaSD) and told them: CEASE AND DESIST with your advertising campaign. AND promise you’ll never do it again. Learn more in the Miami Herald.
It’s time to make John J. Harris cease and desist. He is ripping off the entire country with this promotion of bottled water. There’s also a good film out about the bottled water industry called FLOW. Though I haven’t gotten the chance to see it I have read Maude Barlow! If you live in NYC you can also support TAPD’NY and their selling of NYC tap water.
