Change.org - Draining California's water supply

Petition starter Raffi believes it is unethical for major corporations to tap into California’s water supply during a drought. Nestlé, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and other water bottlers are putting their profits over the needs of the state of California and its residents. The state produces one third of the country’s vegetables and it’s the most populous state in the union—making water scarcity particularly devastating. Join Raffi in demanding a ban on private corporations who resell water from California’s limited resources. Stop Coca-Cola, Nestle and PepsiCo from siphoning California’s water supply 1,030 have signed Raffi Boyadjian’s petition. Let’s get to 1,500!

Given the unprecedented drought that California is facing, the idea that Nestlé, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and other water bottlers are tapping California’s scarce water supply to sell, is unconscionable. California’s agricultural industry raises over a third of the country’s vegetables, and two-thirds of the country’s fruits and nuts. California is the most populous state in the Union. California suffers from devastating wildfires every year. Yet none of this concerns Nestlé, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and other water bottlers; who put their needs for profit over the needs of the state of California and its residents. Please join me in demanding that all tapping of California municipal water supplies, natural springs, groundwater supplies and any other naturally occurring water resources by private corporations who resell that water, be outlawed!  And demand that those corporations who continue to bottle California water, be required to replace that water in California (from non-California resources), drop for drop, at their own expense in addition to levying steep fines for doing so!
