The crystal blue waters of Ginnie Springs have long been treasured among the string of pearls that line Florida’s picturesque Santa Fe River, a playground for water sports enthusiasts and an ecologically critical haven for the numerous species of turtles that nest on its banks.

Does nestle contribute to GOP by any chance?

The operative word being 'take'

BDolanSFR Depleting a natural resource and adding more plastic bottles to the environment plasticpollution SaveThePlanet

That can JFO.

They have been stopped elsewhere.

Disgusting!

A Nestlé, em detrimento da soberania das nações, pretende se locupletar de aquíferos em todo planeta. Aqui no Brasil sempre esteve de olho no aquífero Guarani. Agora com um mentecapto incendiário entreguista na presidência, o risco é ainda maior.

Greedy Swiss!

Seriously the world has to BoycottNestle

Nestle is a grave menace to the planet.

'Nestlé Chairman: Water Not a Right, Should Be Given a 'Market Value' and Privatized.'

Why is it allowed?

review ginger

Nestle CEO was the one who suggested that water shouldn’t be a right but a commodity.

Greedy corporations bleeding this planet dry

Bad bad EVIL company!!

Shite company they should stick to milky bars. If the yanks allow this they’re crazy.

Twenty-nine of Nestlé's brands have annual sales of over CHF1 billion (about US$1.1 billion),[10] including Nespresso, Nescafé, Kit Kat, Smarties, Nesquik, Stouffer's, Vittel, and Maggi.

FionaRowe Are we really still letting these fuckers steal water?!?! DONT buy anything from Nestle.

Why don't you just take a seat and enjoy 💩 capitalism and don't forget to vote fore some redneck idiot on the next elections. 🇺🇸

Boicot Nestlé

Nestle

They tried the same stuff up in Cascade Locks Oregon and lost.

Nestlé have been abusing water sources all over the world for years, making billions, damaging the environment. They claim to be stewards of the land, just like the gamekeepers do in Scotland.

😡

Non sarebbe la prima volta. Nestlé è 'poco attenta' per usare un eufemismo alle comunità locali

The latest in the list of resources Nestlés blatantly disregards. There is still a battle against their promotion of powdered baby milk in countries that can't get clean water to mix it with. The irony...

It damn well better spark outcry.

Lol so are u all ok not using nestle products? 😂 Coca Cola uses 2.7 liters of water for every 1 liter of beverage or an extra 1.7 liters of water for each liter of soft drink, juice, etc., just to run its factories & clean equipment. They sell 1.8 billion Litres Per day 🤷‍♀️🤭

Fuck capitalism.

Nestlé

Rich white crime is uncrime.

Nestle is a very troubling company - this is not the first time they have bought up water rights at the expense of the local community

. This is like them taking our water and selling it back to us.

Nestle does this a lot

How do these company's get away with such fuckery?
