Nestle, the worldโs largest food and beverage company, bottles Michiganโs water for next to nothing and sells it at great profit. And the state has just approved its request to pump even more, despite the failed promise of jobs and 80,000 public comments against Nestle. Meanwhile, just two hours away, Flint still doesn’t have clean water. AJ+’s Dena Takruri meets those who have a stake in this fight, including local environmentalists, a tribal citizen, ordinary residents and a Nestle spokeswoman.

According to a HANDELSBLATT article from today, Nestle only had 9% "recycled plastic" – which is extremely low.
For comparison: LยดOreal had 32% and Werner&Metz (Erdal, Emsal, Frosch) even had 62%.
Apparently Nestle places more emphasis on PR videos about alleged environmental protection than actually doing more for the environment!
so they give the town hush money and the town manager seems to to think its a good deal? sounds like money is going in his pockets?๐
THIS IS SO INSANE & EVIL & IT NEEDS TO END NOW ! WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING ?!?!? ENOUGH ! i BUY OTHER BRANDS ,, ONLY TO FIND THEY OWN THEM A L L !!! END THIS COMPANY !!! ARE THEY BEHIND ALL THESE TRAIN DERAILMENTS POISONING OUR WATER SO WE CAN'T DRINK FROM OUR HOME TAPS ????
Those intrusions on various nations properties is perfectly resolved without depletion. Guarenteed.
But how about adding super environment saving highest purity water which I have available with the means of most efficiently collecting?.
Interviewer: you're not concerned the area is being depleted?
Nestle: The science doesn't show that.
Um, you don't need science to tell you that if you remove water, it can never be replenished. Rainwater stays near the surface and can't replenish deep aquifers.

Missing the point, I know. But when that lady at the end was asked what should Nestle do and she responded with "go home, we don't want them here.", my first thought was "hmm wonder what Native Americans might think about us being here…"
Flint Michigan residents have still NOT received compensation for the water crisis of 2014. Supposedly a $600 million settlement was approved but residents to this day have received nothing!
A Nestlรฉ jรก tem um grande portfรณlio de produtos e deveria deixar a รกgua do mundo em paz….muita ganรขncia.
I will no longer be buying Nestle products (food or beverages)! Absolutely disgusting corporate behaviour! Shame on you nestle!
I live 3 miles from lake michigan and my water bill is getting higher and higher yearly, sup with that?? Oh im poor, riiiiight..
Vote the people who aproved this theft out of office ASAP.
All she says is the science dont show that haha.
So Nestle comes in, takes your water and sells it for massive amounts of profits and gives you 300k for it, nice ๐. Just so you all know, all these corporations are allowed by governments and government officials take cuts, its not just the water this is done with.
They must be paying people off to get those bills passed. Itโs super corrupt.
in greece the price of bottled water is controlled by the government so its cheap
its not hard
I am flabbergasted. I have no words about how gready they have becomed.
This literally BOILS MY BLOOD! If you buy any bottled water, you SUPPORT THIS ๐
STOP BUYING ANY BOTTLED WATER! It's literally toxic water! All of it. Makes me so mad. I can show you how to make better water at home!
Of course nestle will make billions of dollars every year because Americans and some countries donโt drink tap water .
Let me guess,they replaced the culvert
Bottled water without significant additives is a major rip-off and creates waste. Hell even flavored water may only contain 1% of other stuff that we could add from a concentrate. Recently I picked up water supposedly with birch sap. 1% birch samp, a smidge of apple acid, and the normal stuff that anyone could get cheaply: sugar and citric acid. Bottled water should be banned.
So? It's business.
At this point who cares Are idiot for a president should be more concerning
"The science doesn't show that"
Science being like: it shows exactly that
Arlene Anderson Vincent is a terrible liar
But she sure does it alot.
I was waiting for all the marbles to fall out of her mouth. She's a lousy Nestlรฉ
representative.
Our crappy state government here in California is selling out its citizens too.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I hope the water is filtered

stupid companies hope nestle burns to the ground
Everything in America is run by big corporations bent on making obscene profits. That is why they donโt give a shit about their fellow Americans.
Only one school bus.
Those obsolete yellow buses.
Virtual only one motor bike company.
The same goes with your coaches ( Greyhound.)
Also Yellow taxis particularly in New York.
One of only three countries who didnโt go metric, along with Liberia and Burma.
Also the food industry is governed by big business
like McDonalds, Subways,
Hungry Jacks and many
others.
There are also more Gun Shops, then fast food shops.
The US government is fully controlled by Big Corporations always were, Is and always will be.
The U.S. government is nothing more than toothless tiger, ie Tiger Lillies
The USA and Israel were the only two countries on the world who said that water isn't a human right, in the UN, when they voted for it.
10:01 this nestle manager is trying so hard not to laugh, does she find this funny or what?
Don't drink Nessle water if you want it to be your gates forever
Are there jโฌw$ at nestle?
Boycott and DONT BUY Nestle products in UK & Europe they are still operating factories in russia, putting money in putins pockets
More than 7,000 Nestlรฉ workers in Russia are at risk of being conscripted into the Ukraine war as the company comes under pressure to withdraw from the country.
The food giant, which has six factories in Russia, refused to say whether it would intervene to stop staff being called up to fight in Ukraine
Someone shoved money in his hand already.
Americans need to put a STOP to this MADNESS!! ACT UP!! ๐
Nothing a few well placed grenade can't handle.
