| Description: |
Across Canada and around the world, people are taking a stand in support of public water and against the privatization of water. The bottled water industry is being forced under a public microscope as more and more people question: - The safety of bottled water - The weak bottled water industry regulatory standards and practices - The growing corporate control of water - The use of misleading bottled water marketing schemes - The heavy social and ecological toll of for-profit water around the world In Canada, there are over 70 municipalities, 6 school boards and 3 campuses that have successfully phased out the provision and sale of bottled water in their sectors. Will your institution be next? = It's time to stand up and speak out, ditch the bottle and turn on the tap! Join the Canadian Federation of Students, the Sierra Youth Coalition and the Polaris Institute this March 11 for Canada's first Bottled Water Free Day! - Take the pledge and make today the first day of your bottled water free life! www.bottledwaterfreeday.ca |
