A food industry newsletter recently carried a story about Nestle, who — stung by the criticism leveled at them for their predatory water bottling practices — were mounting a public relations counter-offensive.
Apparently, that’s easier than fixing the problems that got them in hot water to begin with, but if you want to read an intelligent […]

As we’ve pointed out in the past, Nestle Waters of North America uses it inexhaustible supply of lawyers to bully, intimidate, and just plain wear out their opponents (usually small towns). If one lawyer gets beat, they shove another $2000 suit into the breach.
That’s why it’s heartening to hear the Protect Our Waters Coalition (CalTrout, […]

The Aguanomics blog is a water-issues blog written by an honest-to-goodness economist, and frankly, the Underground’s sizable Nestle-research staff had a good laugh at his comments regarding the folks in McCloud who originally signed this absolute hummer of a contract:
Bottom Line: They should fire/tar and feather the fools who signed the original contract and start […]

The McCloud Watershed Council held a community meeting over the proposed Nestle plant, and while the town’s still clearly divided over the project, even the proponents have got to be kicking themselves over the lopsided contract.
After all, Nestle’s getting the water for about 1/4000 the cost paid by a similar plant in Ohio, and you […]

It’s been too long since we visited with our good, good friends at multinational predator Nestle Corporation.

Then again, I doubt they’ve missed us much, being as they’ve been busy making all the "World’s Worst Corporation" lists (’#10 with a bullet), suing small towns in Maine into oblivion, trying to illegally obtain new water […]

It’s been a good week in the battle against unholy evil the Siskiyou County Natural Resource Policy and our dear, dear friends at Nestle.
First, the county’s resource policy was surprisingly turned into raw materials for paper airplanes, and now Nestle has been forced to make several key project concessions before re-releasing the McCloud project Environmental […]

Comedian Lewis Black rips on bottled water in the first half of this hilarious piece. Substitute “Nestle” for “Aquafina” and you’ll get the drift…

Nestle’s McCloud representative will tell you the company is a “good corporate citizen” (apparently with a straight face), but all that talk falls completely flat in the face of the multinational’s actions on the ground.
We’ve seen it in McCloud, where they stated categorically their withdrawals wouldn’t affect Squaw Creek — without even bothering to monitor […]

Nestle once again affirms its role as corporate predator by re-issuing a bought-and-paid-for economic study with few changes — solely for the purpose of drowning out those who think Nestle’s water bottling plant in McCloud, California is a very, very bad idea.

Residents of the Canadian town of Guelph are being asked to conserve water while Nestle’s bottling plant continues to pull its full allotment from the town water supplies.
