NEVER SAY NEVER
  • My Think Outside the Bottle Policy
  • www.thinkoutsidethebottle.com

11
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOTTLE
  •  Because water is a human right and not a
    commodity to be bought and sold for
    profit Because bottled water corporations are
    changing the very way people think about water
    and undermining people's confidence in public
    water systems Because up to 40 of bottled
    water in the U.S. and Canada is sourced from
    municipal tap water  Because some bottlers
    have run over communities' concerns and the
    environment when they extract water and build
    bottling plants to get local spring and ground
    water Because bottled water travels many miles
    from the source, results in the burning of
    massive amounts of fossil fuels, and contributes
    to the billions of plastic bottles ending up in
    our landfills Because worldwide there is a
    need for investments in public water systems to
    ensure equal access to water, a key ingredient
    for prosperity and health for all people
    and Because solutions to ensuring water as a
    fundamental human right require people acting
    together and standing up for public water
    systems,
