Re: water

Communities are suffering from water scarcity   Chef Wolfgang Puck has signed up to sell a product that helps destroy the planet. Tell the celebrity chef to cut ties with unethical bottled water giant BlueTriton before it is too late. [ Sign the petitionÂ]( {NAME}, BlueTriton makes its money by pumping water out of communities suffering from drought and water scarcity, selling the water in plastic bottles that end up in landfills, and then claiming that it is a “planet and people conscious” company. It is clear that BlueTriton is trying to cover up its harmful business practices with greenwashed propaganda. The company’s own lawyers say that its sustainability claims are “puffery” not to be taken seriously. But BlueTriton is able to get away with its deception by partnering with people that the public trusts. Master Chef Wolfgang Puck is the latest celebrity that BlueTriton has enlisted to sell its unethically sourced and planet-destroying bottled water. If we can convince Chef Puck to cut ties with BlueTriton before he starts promoting its bottled water, then we will strike a huge blow to the company. That is why we have to act fast. [Sign the petition to demand that Chef Wolfgang Puck cut ties with BlueTriton now.]( BlueTriton’s deception goes even further than its bogus sustainability claims. The company is charging people for a product that may not be better or even as good as the water coming out of your tap. There is currently a lawsuit against BlueTriton claiming that Poland Spring water is actually groundwater, and not 100% spring water as advertised. And at least some of the water in Arrowhead “100% spring water” is actually groundwater according to Colorado state law. So who knows what’s in BlueTriton’s other spring water brands. Wolfgang Puck has just signed up to be an Ambassador for BlueTriton’s ORIGIN spring water. He’ll be making public appearances and be featured in online campaigns to convince people to buy BlueTriton’s “spring-to-table” water. But is ORIGIN, formerly known as Poland Spring ORIGIN, all that different from the controversial Poland Spring brand? Is the public paying more for a higher quality water or just a fancier bottle? And just because the bottle is made from recycled plastic, doesn’t mean it won’t still end up in a landfill. Wolfgang Puck has said that he cares about the environment and sustainability. He also cares about fresh, local, high-quality ingredients. So it makes no sense that he would align himself with a company whose actions show that it likely doesn’t share the same values. [Tell Wolfgang Puck to live his values and cut ties with controversial bottled water giant BlueTriton.]( SumOfUs members like you have been speaking out against bottled water companies for nearly a decade. And as a result of the public outrage, Nestlé was pushed out of North America. But now BlueTriton is picking up right where Nestlé left off, and we must continue fighting back. Getting celebrities like Chef Wolfgang Puck to distance themselves from BlueTriton is crucial to ending the dangerous hold that the bottled water industry has on our country. That is why your signature is needed to help ensure that he takes our demand seriously.
