What's At Stake?Tell Coke to come cleanThe aggressive marketing of bottled water corporations like Coke, Nestlé, and Pepsi is changing the way we all think about water and undermining confidence in our public water systems. Who will provide drinking water in the decades to come? The more water becomes a high-priced commodity, the more public water sources and universal access to water are threatened. This is putting access to safe water in jeopardy for millions around the world. The Facts: * Our public water is better regulated than bottled water. Yet now we have an entire generation growing up thinking that the only place to get water is from a bottle. * But we are making changes. In addition to Pepsi’s announcement, this summer we worked with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to ban city spending on bottled water and now many other cities are following his lead. And so far more than 10,000 people have pledged to Think Outside the Bottle! Click here to take the Pledge. * California recently passed legislation requiring bottled water corporations to disclose more information to consumers about the quality and testing and the source of the water.
