Last month, Nestlé tried to patent a flower used by billions of people as a natural remedy and a video was widely shared with Nestle’s chairman saying that water is a commodity and not a human right. And now, we have discovered that Nestlé is sucking a Canadian community dry during drought conditions — just to sell bottled water.
Nestlé has won a permit to drain the local aquifer dry at any time, while the community of Hillsburg, Ontario has to restrict its water use during dry conditions every summer. This just isn’t right, and Maude Barlow, Council of Canadians, and Ecojustice are fighting back, taking Nestlé and Ontario Ministry of the Environment to court. However, it shouldn’t take a lawsuit for Nestlé to do the right thing. Lets tell Nestlé that community water access is more important than its profits. Demand Nestle to stop draining Hillsburgh’s water source during dry conditions for the sake of profits.
Tell Nestlé: stop draining Ontario’s water source during drought conditions to sell bottled water.
Currently, Nestlé has a permit through 2017 to take about 1.1 million litres of water per day from Hillsburgh for its bottling operations in Aberfoyle, even during drought conditions when households are put on water restrictions. A number of groups are fighting back. “Ontario must prioritize communities’ right to water above a private company’s thirst for profit,” says Maude Barlow, National Chairperson for the Council of Canadians.
Nestlé has been in the news a lot lately for attempting to profit from our natural resources. Last month, over 220,000 SumOfUs supporters have signed our petition against Nestlé’s greedy grab to patent fennel flower, a cure-all remedy for over a thousand years for billions of people in impoverished communities across the Middle East and Asia. Several days after we send out our petition, a video emerged showed Nestlé’s chairperson claiming that the idea water is a human right comes from “extremist” NGOs and that water is a foodstuff that should have a market value. So it’s no surprise that Nestlé is now trying to drain water from an Ontario town for the sake of profit.
Nestlé’s appetite to commodify water and flowers is a recurring strategy by a corporation with a pattern of seeking to privatize and profit from traditional knowledge and our natural resources. By speaking out against the draining of our watersheds, you will be taking a stand against Nestlé’s evil strategy to commodifying everything in nature in the name of profit.
Demand that Nestlé stop commodifying everything in nature. Stop draining Ontario’s watersheds to bottle water.

Water, Agenda 21, NWO, Corporatism.
Nestlé’s stealing our water. Stealing our water. STEALING OUR WATER. everyone, shout it out!! Nestlé’s is STEALING OUR WATER!
NWO is about a world without national identities.
NWO is about corporations controlling every natural resource, water is the last one to fall.
Water IS in short supply, why? All the junk the revered “Corporations” have built their empires selling us, convincing us we needed, ah yes the “Corporation”
No human activity is exempt from the excessive use of water, none.
I have seen this coming since 1970. It IS reaching a crisis point right on cue, and the reaction is just as expected. We the people are the problem of course, not “Corporate” greed trying to pull every dollar out of every possible resource.
There was plenty of time to slow down our raping of the world, come to grips with this issue, but that was never, never, an option.
They want to reduce the human population as fast as they can, and for Gods sake, do not think this is not where it is all heading. The game is over folks.
