Nestlés chairman has been caught on camera saying that water isnt a human right, calling this view extreme. Instead, he wants water sold on the open market like anything else, for those who can afford to buy it -- and his company is working harder than ever to make sure it happens. Its business model is clear: privatize and commodify our public resources -- under the leadership of a man who says a CEOs biggest social responsibility is to ensure corporate profits. From Pakistan to Canada, Nestlé is busy draining millions of liters of our fresh water -- often without paying a cent! -- in order to sell back to the public at record prices. ... The worlds largest food company already has governments and regulators in its back pocket, and has cowed others with its aggressive PR campaigns. ... In Canada, an ambitious lawsuit stopped Nestlé from extracting millions more liters liters of fresh water during a drought. And in Pakistan, Nestlé was even sponsoring fake public health seminars to tell people that non-bottled water was dangerous, until public outrage forced them to stop. ... Today, Nestlé is feeling the pressure more than ever. It knows that around the world, people are starting to see its agenda for what it is -- and that were coming together like never before to stand up to them. Thats why Nestlé has invested millions in a corporate mission control dedicated to protecting the companys reputation online. We need to keep up the pressure on Nestlé -- in Pakistan, in Nigeria, in North America and around the world, we are seeing Nestlé’s growing efforts to commodify our natural resources only to sell them back to us. We can stop Nestlé evil ways -- we have the community and the tools to do it...
