I'm conflicted. If Nestle wants this, it must be horribly bad for us, but on the other hand I want fossil fuels to go.

It doesn't have anything to do with hoovering up all the water from national parks and sensitive aquifers for free and selling it in little plastic bottles for shocking amounts of money. Or taking farms from people in developing countries at gun point. Or convincing people that breast milk is dangerous and Nestle baby formula is the only safe alternative, even for people who don't have access to clean water to mix it with. They're just not going to use fossil fuels while they do that. Fuck Nestle.
