One More Reason To Drink Tap Water......

Luv2Dance · 08-25-2009

and more specifically not to drink Fiji Water.

As I trickled down the paragraphs of this article .........the more incensed I became. The irony of this whole story is that while this company is welcomed by Fiji government, is not being taxed by the government and is contributing to the exportation of water at a total 130 million dollars last year....yet nearly one third of Fijians are living without access to clean water.

California.....watch out....you might have a problem too .....the Resnicks control quite a bit of California's water infrastructure that was built by public funds....48% of Kern Water Bank...."which is meant to collect water from aqueducts and the Kern River and redistribute during times of drought."

I don't think they are all that "green" either.

This kind of greed makes me sick.

Bottled water is one of the biggest wastes there is to begin with, at least for those of us in countries with safe tap water (and that story is terrible

).

It is.....it is disturbing they have 48% controlling interest of Kern Water Bank yet touting Fiji water as the most environmentally friendly. This water gaming is disgusting. If they want to give back.....then they should step up and fight the military junta. Giving back to kindergartens etc...is nice and fuzzy but it does nothing to outweigh the damage these people are doing.

I do know that if you drink Nestle brand bottled water, you're drinking the same water I get out of my tap here in Dallas, but maybe re-filtered.

But yeah, I can't comprehend the stupidity of bottling pure water, shipping it across the ocean, and reselling it to people who have easy access to pure clean water, with fluoride and other important minerals.
