Nestlé: Stop draining Pakistan dry!

Nestlé is draining developing countries’ groundwater
to make its Pure Life bottled water, destroying countries’ natural resources before forcing its people to buy their own water back.

Now Nestlé is moving into Pakistan and sucking up the local water supply, rendering entire areas uninhabitable in order to sell mineral-enriched water to the upper class as a status symbol, while the poor watch wells run dry and their children fall ill.

Tell Nestlé to stop stealing Pakistan’s water and making its villages uninhabitable.

Nestlé’s aggressive water grab is already descending like a plague on parts of Pakistan. In the small village of Bhati Dilwan, villagers have watched their water table sink hundreds of feet since Nestlé moved in. Children are getting sick from the foul-smelling sludge they’re forced to choke down. Meanwhile, Nestlé spends millions marketing “Pure Life” to wealthy Americans, Europeans, and Pakistanis who can afford to watch their kids grow up healthy. This scenario is played out again and again in countries around the globe. But this is where we say: enough!

Dirty water kills more children around the world than AIDS, malaria, war, and traffic accidents combined -- and Nestlé has a big hand in it.

At the World Water Forum in 2000, Nestlé led the way in fighting against defining access to water a universal right. Nestlé and other big corporations won out, and government officials around the globe officially downgraded water’s classification to a “need” instead, meaning it could be captured, commoditized, and exploited by major corporations without regard for local populations.

Tell Nestlé: Water is a human right. Stop stealing it from communities around the world.

When the company's Canadian subsidiary pushed to keep draining millions of liters of fresh water from the water table in a time of drought, we joined our friends at the Council of Canadians, Wellington Water Watchers, and Ecojustice challenging Nestlé in court -- and we won! Just this month, after additional pressure from thousands of SumOfUs members, Nestlé decided to drop its appeal -- a huge win for the public.

If we expose Nestlé’s disgusting game plan for Pakistan, the company will scale back its water-draining facilities to avoid a damaging global backlash. But if we ignore what’s happening there, Nestlé and other major corporations will suck up more and more the world’s water -- and that’s not good news for anyone.

Join us in standing up to corporations like Nestlé that suck up essential natural resources.

P.S. Nestlé’s current chairman and former CEO was caught on tape arguing that water is "not a right”, and while the clip is shocking, the reality is even worse. Nestlé’s aggressive policies are depriving thousands of people around the planet of the basic water they need to survive, all to pump up the company’s bottom line. Please join us in taking a stand against corporate seizure of our natural resources today.

And you guys are blaming us Indians for your water shortage!!! Jeeeez! :undecided: :lol:

Oh My apologies what was i thinking Water shortage in pakistani villages are Raw conspiracy :pissed::omghaha:

Pakistani politicians that are still after all are not building reservoirs or dams are not to be blamed.

Pakistani delusions have sunk them into groundwater as well..:lol:

Nestle America is sourced from America.

India cannot steal water from Pakistan since its not Pakistans water, you get it out our goodwill to follow IWT, make some more noise, and we can stop that as well.

Nestle and COke are criminals ...they often steal ground water and refuse to give the water they steal to the local villages, instead the sell it at absurd prices , this is nothing to laugh at ...

There's a documentary online about how Coca Cola has practically ruined the agriculture of a part of Rajhistan in India by buying off water usage rights and sucking groundwater or something like that, and people are emigrating from where they lived since their childhood. One bottle of coke uses many more just in its production process. I didn't know bottled water was almost as bad too.

Water or crop, these commercial food giants need to be thrown out of any country asap.

I don't know what you mean by this, maybe that they are pumping water from America, but Nestle is a Swiss company.
Nestle sources water locally for its brands.

For example Pure life brand is sourced from MI, not by stealing paranoid Pakistanis water as this article seems to suggest.
