I have a copy, but we appreciate your offer. I hope folks buy Flow and also Elizabeth Royte’s Bottlemania book, both of which have been attacked by the bottled water industry – a good sign both Irene and Elizabeth did something right.

Hopefully, the distinction is clearer to you than it is to me…
I’m interested in learning the “truth” behind the Nestle video, but I’m also watching this closely from the standpoint of Nestle’s media presence; the video’s been accepted as “debunking” the Nestle-related portion of the movie Flow by several water-related publications, yet apparently without much in the way of critical review.

In one sense, it’s similar to the disadvantage activists find themselves in local media; Nestle’s corporate spokespersons seem to have a much shorter hill to climb when it comes to media acceptance of their talking points. In Nestle’s case, those include the recurring “good stewards/good corporate neighbor” themes, which are put to the sword by Nestle’s actions in Michigan, Maine, Florida and California.
