Today we told Nestlé Waters to shove it up their chocolate ass. Evidently they don’t like us talking smack about plastic water bottles. They so thoughtfully wanted to “assure” us that there’s very little environmental impact from the use of bottled water. Yeah right. FU Nestlé.
Yes, the PR spin you were subjected to is part of the Nestle schtick. The problem is that there actually is very little impact as far as Ms. Lagzin (Nestle’s PR flack) is concerned.
She doesn’t have a couple hundred water tanker trucks thundering by her home every day. She’s not seeing her small rural community blown apart by a multinational the interferes in local elections and issues divisive statements about the opposition.
She hasn’t been on the receiving end of one of her own company’s lawsuits and legal intimidation tactics.
And she hasn’t seen her favorite watershed damaged by overpumping (as Nestle did in Mecosta County (MI) and in Texas).
I could go on, but unlike Ms. Lagzin – and the rest of Nestle’s PR team – I’ve got real work to do.
