Congratulations to Wells, Maine for fighting Nestle

with one comment

I just an email from the people over at Food and Water Watch about the electoral victories for regular people concerned about their water at the polls last week.

In the beachside town of Wells, Maine, threatened by the expanding bottling operations of Nestle’s Poland Springs brand, towns folk voted in unprecedented numbers to halt Nestle’s water mining. The community voted for a 180 day moratorium on all water bottling activities allowing residents time to craft a comprehensive ordinance protecting local water resources.

Fighting Poland Springs…what it means to be from Maine. In the bigger picture of fighting bottled water corporations, maybe someone in Maine should follow the TAP’D NY model and create a TAP’D Maine?

    Nestle’s facing opposition all over the country. In McCloud they finally had to nullify their sweetheart deal with the town, and that they’ll get another one is hardly a done deal.

    They’re really not the “good corporate neighbor” they pretend to be.
