these strategies are all core parts of manufacturing demand
Once theyve manufactured all this demand,
creating a new multibillion dollar market,
they defend it by beating out the competition.
But in this case,
the competition is our basic human right to
clean, safe drinking water.
Pepsis Vice Chairman publicly said,
The biggest enemy is tap water!
They want us to think its dirty and bottled
water is the best alternative.
In many places, public water is polluted
thanks to polluting industries like
And these bottled water guys are all too happy
to offer their expensive solutions
which keep us hooked on their products.
Its time we took back the tap.
That starts with making a personal commitment
to not buy or drink bottled water unless the water
in your community is truly unhealthy.
Yes, it takes a bit of foresight to grab a
reusable bottle on the way out, but I think we can handle it
Then take the next step
join a campaign thats working for real solutions.
Like demanding investment in clean tap water for all
In the US, tap water is underfunded by $24 billion
partly because people believe drinking water
only comes from a bottle!
Around the world, a billion people dont
have access to clean water right now.
Yet cities all over are spending millions of dollars to deal with all
the plastic bottles we throw out.
What if that money were spent improving our water systems
or better yet, preventing pollution to begin with?
There are many more things we can do to solve this problem.
Lobby your city officials to bring back drinking fountains
Work to ban the purchase of bottled water
by your school, organization or entire city
This is a huge opportunity for millions of people to wake up
and protect our wallets,
our health
and the planet.
The good news is: its already started.
Bottled water sales have begun to drop while business is booming
for safe refillable water bottles. Yay!
Restaurants are proudly serving tap
and people are choosing to pocket the hundred of thousands
of dollars they would otherwise be wasting
on bottled water
Carrying bottled water is on its way to being
as cool as smoking while pregnant.
We know better now.
The bottled water industry is getting worried
because the jig is up.
We are not buying into their
manufactured demand anymore.
We will choose our own demands,
thank you very much, and were demanding clean, safe water for all
thank you very much, and were demanding clean, safe water for all
