Nestlé is draining the groundwater from a small town in France known for its majestic mineral springs, and pumping out 1.5 billion plastic bottles of water a year.
The local community in Vittel knows they soon won’t have enough water to survive, so they’re fighting back…and they need our help.
They’re suing to prove that Nestlé is illegally stealing the town’s water, but the water giant has launched its own lawsuits against the community to try and scare them into silence. The legal fees are piling up, and the activists paying for it all out of their own pockets have run out of funds to keep the lawsuit alive.
We’ve jumped in to help this brave, small community before – and now they need our help again.
Can you chip in to stop Nestlé stealing their water and draining the town dry?
