Today, more than one billion people around the world do not have access to safe water to drink!
Unless something is done today, this problem will only get worse>> http://go.care2.com/e/j7J/jO/Erx6
Corporate conglomerates like Coke, Pepsi, and Nestlé are exacerbating the global water crisis by turning water into a profit driven commodity, like oil. Bottled water corporations are threatening local control of water supplies in communities across the US and around the world.According to the World Health Organization an estimated 1.7 billion people still lack access to clean water.
And more than 2 billion people suffer from water-borne diseases each year due to the inability to provide clean water. This is becoming an increasing problem as water conglomerates having installed pre-paid water meters in poor areas in order to ensure profitability, and cut-off supply if citizens fall behind on their payments.
People should control water, not private conglomerations.
In the United States, these conglomerates are actively working to mislead consumers into believing that bottled water is better for you than tap water. These corporations have spent tens of millions of dollars to convince us that bottled water is cleaner, healthier and safer than tap water.
But in fact, bottled water is actually less regulated than public systems. So, as these corporations profit off our water, they are undermining support for our public water supplies and paving the way for corporate privatization of our public water systems.
Join our National Week of Action, and tell Coke, Pepsi, and Nestlé to stop misleading promotion of their bottled water brands and to stop interfering in policies that protect our water>> http://go.care2.com/e/j7J/jO/Erx6
