Nestle Pure Life Still Spring Water 12x500ml

Product Information

Most eastern states allow landowners to bottle water as long as there isn’t “measurable diminishment” of water levels and flow, Olson said. He won the 2003 Dead River case by proving Nestlé violated that rule. However, the Michigan court of appeals slightly shifted its interpretation of the law to favor Nestlé. Now, Michigan is closer to California and other western states, which allows landowners to lower water levels as long as downstream neighbors aren’t seriously harmed. Such tactics are partly what’s behind the Forest Service’s Strawberry Creek decision to allow Nestlé to pull water from federal land, said Michael O’Heaney, director of the Berkeley-based environmental group Story of Stuff Project, which has sued to stop Nestlé. Should water be commodified and sold by private industry, or is it a basic human right?

In Fryeburg, the company’s activities dried out wells and depleted the aquifer. It’s proposing pulling 1.1m gallons daily from injured springs feeding the central Florida’s Santa Fe River – four times what previous bottling companies took. The aquifer is draining because municipalities, agri-business, and bottled water companies are pulling from it, said Robert Knight, director of the Florida Springs Institute.

Our CHF 1.5 billion investment in procuring recycled plastics aims to reverse that trend by making recycled food-grade plastic a more attractive financial proposition to suppliers – in hopes this will help to encourage the adoption of recyclable food-grade plastic in the industry. What will be the focus of the sustainability fund and what is its investment horizon? Former Forest Service special uses leader Gary Earney administered Nestlé’s water permit between 1984 and 2007 and is now one of its most vocal critics. At the national level, former agriculture secretary Ann Veneman serves on Nestlé’s board, and documents Story of Stuff obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show the Forest Service chief is closely monitoring Strawberry Creek. Meanwhile, the FDA in 2017 determined Nestlé was partly bottling groundwater – not spring water – in Strawberry Creek. The FDA abruptly reversed its position several months later after a former FDA regulator representing Nestlé went to the company. Nestlé is now fighting a lawsuit that alleges it is selling what is technically groundwater, which is different than spring water, and generally less desirable.

In Strawberry Creek, the Forest Service is requiring a three-year study of Nestlé’s impact on the watershed as part of the terms of the five-year permit it issued. “Accusations are simple. Science is tough. We’re doing the science,” Lawrence said. During that time, he witnessed “devastating” Forest Service budget cuts that made it impossible to monitor Nestle’s activities or properly manage the forest, but Nestlé was there to help – it set up a nonprofit to solicit money for projects. Former San Bernardino national forest supervisor Gene Zimmerman, who left the agency in 2006 to work as a contractor for Nestlé, admits the company funded government projects in a 2015 video promoting Nestlé.

But further up the mountain, the brush is more brown. There are few mosquitoes, insects, amphibians or other wildlife. Earney sees an ecosystem that “should be much more lush”. Where Nestlé sees a healthy environment, conservationists see one struggling. Nestlé Waters, which owns 51 brands including Ice Mountain, Poland Spring, and Zephyrhills, sees a much different reality. It presents itself as a responsible steward of America’s water and an eco-friendly “healthy hydration” company aiming to save the world’s freshwater supply.

You have to be conscious of the legal framework and a subtle shifting toward privatization of water without you knowing it,” he added.
