“Corporate Accountability International does so much with modest resources. Their accomplishments are remarkable. I am happy to contribute because I believe my gifts are having a disproportionately big impact, while the world is moved closer to my vision of fairness.”
Think Outside the Bottle Pledge
- Because water is a human right and not a commodity to be bought and sold for profit;
- Because bottled water corporations are changing the very way people think about water and undermining people's confidence in public water systems;
- Because up to 40% of bottled water in the U.S. and Canada is sourced from municipal tap water;
- Because some bottlers have run over communities' concerns and the environment when they extract water and build bottling plants to get local spring and ground water;
- Because bottled water travels many miles from the source, results in the burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels, and contributes to the billions of plastic bottles ending up in our landfills;
- Because worldwide there is a need for investments in public water systems to ensure equal access to water, a key ingredient for prosperity and health for all people; and
- Because solutions to ensuring water as a fundamental human right require people acting together and standing up for public water systems.
I pledge to Think Outside the Bottle, which means:
Opting for public tap water over bottled water; and
Calling on public officials to cut taxpayer spending on bottled water and support strong public water systems.
