Environmental Enlightenment #3 (Support Sustainable & Socially Responsible Companies)

I'm banning all Nestle products.

I've been on somewhat of a documentary binge lately. A while ago I watched Tapped which was a film about the bottled water industry and it's detriment to society and the environment. The star of the film was Nestle who owns a wealth of bottled water companies and 5 of the largest in the U.S. (Deer Park, Poland Springs, Ice Mountain, Arrowhead and Perrier). Then a month or so ago I watched Flow: For The Love of Water which asks the all important question: Can someone own water? Think about it like this; Would you pay someone for air to breathe? You need air to live just like you need water to live. Why would you pay someone for water when you can turn on your sink and get it for free?
