How Nestle makes billions bottling free water | AJ+

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ค. 2018
- Nestle, the world’s largest food and beverage company, bottles Michigan’s water for next to nothing and sells it at great profit. And the state has just approved its request to pump even more, despite the failed promise of jobs and 80,000 public comments against Nestle. Meanwhile, just two hours away, Flint still doesn't have clean water. AJ+'s Dena Takruri meets those who have a stake in this fight, including local environmentalists, a tribal citizen, ordinary residents and a Nestle spokeswoman.

The Nestle Woman being interviewed says "Science" too much, I think she means "Sales".
Lmao the staredown the reporter gives her is priceless
Good 1
@@nallelygalarza7593 yeah! Perfectly timed!
Yeah...the "science" of Sales.
I'd like to see the science. I wonder if it's legitimate.
The lady at Nestle seems to think everything will be fine if she says the word "Science" enough.
Scientifically I object due to that Science doesnt show that.
@Sikandar Ali But there was no science in the documentary, and to be honest, science is the only thing that can oppose Nestle because the people are being ignored.
Same at their plants in Florida.
Same way they use the word "jobs" to get their way.
Science changes it’s mind every year, and people that die because they trusted the numbers of science are disregarded by scientists as a fluke or a freak accident that doesn’t normally occur.
I don’t trust it for a minute. I’ll put my faith in God before I put my faith in science every time, because one of them won’t sell you out when you don’t fit it’s model.
I live here in Michigan and I refuse to buy Nestle Water or any of their products.
S Beau after this I will keep that in mind. The whole world should do the same. Pieces of fish shit.
With ya brother, these corporations are ruining our planet.
Same. But they own so many different companies it’s tough to not buy their products. But I sure try
Good luck it's just like how corn syrup is in everything. Your not going to McDonald's for example they are supplied by Carnation (a Nestle company), the amount of brands owned by Nestle is staggering and it's still growing.
Devon Simpson if you eat McDonald’s you stupid. That is so harmful to your body. Without even thinking about the ethics with nestle, it it just a straight up horrible decision
“We’re not like puppets”..... 🤦♀️ Nestle pays less a year than I do for running water 😂
Ikr
People in Michigan cant even use their water! And payed for contaminated water, and HAD to pay!!!🤬🤬🤬
STOP BUYING BOTTLED WATER! PERIOD.
@Duro boyss in some countries people don't have drinkable tap water you absolute genius
If no one owns the water, then why should Nestle have to pay anything for it?
Also, you’re welcome to go benefit from free natural ‘running water’ all you want.. But instead, you’re paying to have it filtered & ‘RUN’ (pumped) though your faucets with the benefit of cleanliness & temperature regulation.
If you want THAT for free, then perhaps you should go build your own pump & filtration system ..like Nestle. 🤦🏻♀️
@@ninamartinez5596 I’m sorry, were you drinking fish-shit water directly from the creek? 🤨 Water NATURALLY gets contaminated. Nestle filters it, & gave it to you people FOR FREE in a convenient, sterilized, single serving package.. but you spit in their face ..so now they took it back.
I think the city manager of evart has his pockets filled with nestle candy bars....
I saw the greed in his eyes, sad to say, he is doing this to his own residents, 💗& ✌
There sell outs
Candy bars and money
carter joldersma 😂😂😂
I agree especially since he got defensive when she was questioning him about the deal....a hit dog will holler.
That nestle lady has no idea what's going she been told what to do and wants to keep a job... the town rep clearly is bought. You can't argue with people who've been there for 50 yrs and have seen changes when nestle walks in...
She clearly knows what she's talking about. She frothing from the mouth because of her lies.
Children intertainment
Mad?
you are really gonna hate on her because she wants to keep her job??
@@twiggysmalls7539 Keeping a job should not negatively affect hundreds, or thousands of people.
NESTLE is one of the reasons why Most communities in Calafornia don’t have access to clean drinking water, and why there is a water shortage practically everywhere
I know Nestlé has water rights to a well or multiple wells in Cabazon, CA. I've been to their plant.
Sounds more like California doesn't protect its own citizens properly on a legal basis
Where is Calafornia?

@@bl5533 California is in the US but IDK about Calafornia. Never heard of that place before.
they're barking at Nestle. i hope they're barking at their politicians too.
@Krypto Analyst they are controlled by these corporations. Politicians are mostly just pupets
😂
Exactly this.
@@dissonanceparadiddle they choose to be puppets because they can profit from it. They are corrupted, nothing else. Don't try to defend them. The moment you have to lie with a straight face to hide the truth it means you are doing something wrong

@@user-zi6jt9dj8l Yeah I Totally agree with you 😅😅😅Ironic isn't it?
Water is a basic human Right
When Cooperations start making profit of the Water disrupting the Eco system, we need to be worried
@rj zander shut up
Yes period , we as a nation can see what corporations like this one (Nestle's)are doing to locals and the nation and they are from switzerland , its time to stop them from raping us as a nation and much more the locals , they need help in huge numbers ,
We could simply stop buying their products to stop them from raping us
We need to stop them
The same is happening in california and other countys across the nation
They are given resources to sell back to the citizens for a huge profit
I say boycott their products until they cooperate with the complaining victims of the USA
5:47 I wouldn’t be surprised if the city manager is being paid off by Nestle
We need Chris from parks and rec to be the new city manager. He and Leslie Knope would put a stop to that fast
Bro gotta be true. Can’t be that dumb either love for your community or love for the money apparently.
Dope name btw I used to listen to Tenacious D back in the day.
Yes, let's avoid the issue of Nestle essentially stealing good water from a community and reselling it back to them for insane profits by focusing on "the science." That Natural Resource Manager should run for public office. Her deny and deflect game was on point.
If nobody bought it the problem would be solved
@@JamesBrown-ik3pjthat is not how that works…also maybe people wouldn’t drink water in bottles if
The tap water wasn’t toxic in just about every damn state in the US.
But her face said she doesn't believe what she's saying herself
“ Were not puppets” the city official for Evart needs to be fired and investigated.
hey I want to sell $350 million dollars worth of ur water a year. i'll give u $200 for it?
*DEAL.*
Backdoor deals bro millions
Time to take back the land
Actually if you listened, they told you exactly what it is. $3.50 per 1,000 gallons, at 5,000 gallons per minute, there is 1440 minutes per day. If you can do simple math you can get the numbers... That town is making alot of money!!!!
Fook Nestle.
Not even $200 million?😯😶
She's not concerned about it because she is getting a six figure check from nestle.
jake king shes a TOOL
but... the science behind it
I'm pretty sure she got a call from her manager after this interview. Maybe even fired.
Kept Hal0 😂😂😂😂 it's all about the scientists
How you figure?
Hold on is this not the same state where there’s a water crisis... oh I forgot mainly black folk lived in Flint smh
@C Tac okay? Chill lol you dont understand what racism is
You all need to get a good lawyer and get signatures and talk to the town people getting paid for them taking the water he said 300,000 dollars in 2017
Y’all getting hustled like a mug STAND UP !2019
Take action . Get em out take it higher dont let up fight for yours
That's just the money on top of the table that goes to the community. As for the money under the table...
But pro ultra rich monopolies can have lots of power according to idiots like Ben Shapiro.
The nestle bottling plant is almost 100% machine operated, or at least thats what they strive for. The promise of jobs is such a myth
The most you could get is a temporary contractual job to build the plant. After that, what they paid for (the machine) eventually negates the expenses put into building it. Maintenance is probably more sturdy.
I work for Niagara Bottling trust me these machines can’t run themselves
Howard Key
I worked for Ice Mountain briefly. One machine bottles 1,200 bottles a minute. And now they pump even more water. That sure as hell cant be done in that quantity manually.
200 some employees so Yes their 99% machine run.
Forti et tibeli nihil difficile those machines jam and run out of labels without someone constantly changing reels and restarting machines and clearing the line for a changeover the place would fall apart in hours
@@howardkey6152 The numbers. Focus on the numbers.
I wish my water bill was only $35 a month
$200 a year
bob smiths mine is 2.70 - 4 bucks a month HAHA.
Mine is 0$ 👌
Wow lucky....mines over 150 monthly😭😭😭
Its ridiculous
@@testing123okay5 its one of the perks of living in canada , at least in quebec where i live , plenty of water for everybody aha
I live in Stanwood michigan. Since the plant has been built and taking the water, it has actually dried up a well in the yard so we had to have the well moved. Also the pond we have in the front yard has become stagnant with barely a trickle in the summers. Whereas when I was a boy, I uses to fish outta that pond and watch my grandmother feed the catfish, you would see them coming by the hundreds to the surface of the water. Now it's just stagnant with algae. Not lives in it but frogs and snakes and turtles
I'm so very sorry to hear that. I don't buy bottled water never have and never will. I will stick with my tap water or use my brita water.
I thought the people were supposed to own our land and our water under capitalism but instead they take our shit and sell it back to us.
Usually not the last part though.
I'M SO SORRY ! THAT IS AWFUL !!!

That lady for Nestle instantly regretted doing the interview. She went in with fake facts and had nothing to counter argue. If this was a debate competition, she would be the first one out the door.
She was a pretty awful spokesperson for what I'm sure is a 6-figure salary that goofball's making
Alexander who cares. She makes a shit ton. At the end of the day if you work for McDonalds, Walmart , or Nestlé there will always be someone who thinks you're working for a corrupt, evil company.
*"👏THE👏SCIENCTH👏DOESN'T👏SHOW👏THAT."*
1000 years ago and this lady'd still be countering like, "Doth showeth that the science?"
She was so stuck on a simple feedback. That was pretty awful and cringe Worthy.
As far a I can remember ..since I was a kid nestle water tastes like trash
Dude Upper Michigan has some of if not the best water in the world. The Chinese bought water from great lakes an called it champagne water.
Yes NESTLE water is some SHIT

@Ricardo Correa its on the video from AJ+ videos
Ahh your pulling my leg
In CA some folks spend that much in CRV fees and plastic bag fees in grocery stores a year.
you taking 400 gallons per minute and you need science to show you that it will have some kind of impact? yea keep turning a blind eye to reality
Jorge duarte that have major impacts and no one need science to show that
Mathis Bonsaint that's the point I'm making. 👍
Great video, thanks for sharing. The even bigger problem is the plastic pollution. Greed, local gov. and politics at play here.
At 3:23 you claim to show two water marks. The highest mark you claim to be a water line is a seam between the different pours of the concrete......
When they are right about something they shouldn't lie about such stuff as it could be used by companies like nestle to create doubt about them...
So each well sucks about 200 - 300 million gallons of water annually if my math is right, and according to the video Nestle is operating 9 wells in that area, so that is about 1.8 to 2.7 BILLION gallons of water out of the ground annually. feels like you don't need a degree to understand it's bad for the environment to suck that much water from that small of an area.
The 400 gallons per minute is for the plant, not each individual well. So the total extraction is 210,000,000 gallons per year.
To put that in perspective - per the video, the wells are spread out over Mecosta county (571 sq miles) and Osceola county (573 sq miles). Average rainfall in the area is 32.7" per year. So the amount of rain that falls in the area annually is 649,660,000,000 gallons.
210 million is 0.03% of that - granted this percentage is averaged over the entire two counties, and is likely higher in the vicinity of the wells (let's be generous and say 1%). Of course, I don't have a degree in this, so I can't say for sure how bad taking 1% of the water out of an ecosystem really is.
degnaw So you are saying all those changes in the environment of the area are not caused by the wells of Nestle? that might be true but there is no way to prove that, and the mere fact that DEQ uses the data from Nestle to grand them the permit instead of an independent third party source just screams government corruption to me.
Neal Golden I'm not saying that per se. Nestle might indeed be contributing to the problem by taking that 1%, but it's impossible to say without (as you suggest) an independent third party collecting the data.
per minute - not annually
You simply cannont say if it's bad based on what they pump out. You need to know the groundwater flow and put this against the numbers you listed above. Then you can say it's bad.
I'm not trying to defend nestle here but saying its bad without any background information is not good.
😡When Nestle is finished sucking that town dry, they’ll move on to the next small town and repeat the same atrocity!😡 IF what is stated in this video is factual and true, I will continue to do my part by not purchasing ANY Nestle products.
chill out, it's not a big deal
Beede Bee right lol it’s just water
LovingAtlanta, out of curiosity, do you have any ideas how much water is lost naturally from these streams?
Alan Crane - It is mentioned in the video. Do I personally know how much water is lost? - No
Do I personally know that anything in this video is a fact? - No.
That’s a lot of succccccing dry
Funny how the CEO is almost laughing when she is answering the questions like she doesnt buy her own bulls*** 😂
**Frantic rambling** _"Anyways I, I, I've also received a lot of pictures of people saying eh, look at how nice the trout, -streams are, soo..."_ alright then
Omg that Arlene lady knew she was spiting out BS, you can tell by her body language and the way she was talking.
Samantha Timple She had no idea at all. She is the dumber sister of Kelly Ann Conway, what a liar
Of course she's going to lie her Job depends on it.
Samantha Timple yep
Samantha Timple "from a science perspective". You're not a scientist
Also the city manager.
Don’t buy nestle water, Corp greed.
After watching this, I will never buy a Nestle product again. What a disgusting company.
I'm not
I don't. Their water tastes terrible to me
well I normally Buy Deer Park water but from what I understand this is also maybe like a sub company of nestle so what I really am interested in doing after this documentary, is finding out what companies or brands are all affiliated with Nestle, and then I choose to not buy any of those.
Good luck - Google list of nestle brands
Well, now we know why Switzerland is so rich ...
300k dollars annually for the city... That is NOTHING.
Nestle does the same exact thing here in Sacramento. All while residents are forced to com ply with strict water use regulations. This is America.
universoulistic guns in my area, i got the strap, i gotta carry them.
That is the peak of capitalism, private corporations would remove the air we breathe if they could and sell it back to us in canisters for only 5.99$ a piece.
They need to pay here in my country
James Davis you are an idiot
pbs.twimg.com/media/C3CmRmZVUAAs3pZ.jpg
Dude is right. I remember having a $100 water bill and I'm sure the usage for that month didn't add up to 1% of what Nestle is pumping in a minute. And all they get charged is a few hundred dollars. Crazy talk. Vote them out.
The man just admitted his town was beholden to nestle then denied it. 😂😂😂
The Nestle lady was the wrong bot to push forward to be interviewed
Not exactly. She toed the company line, Baby Dakota. That's what she's paid to do.
why is a qatari owned news organization doing more to explain the point of view of the americans affected when our outlets wont give us a similar opportunity.
Thank you Aljazeera for having the capability to show the issues affecting the american public.
because the US government itself is the problem
No because Corp buy the Government don't blame the employee for the shit store policy,
Lobbying.
It's been in the news a year ago.
Because Aljazeera buthurt for Trump win the lection. Since Nestle donate to trump's campaign
Interviewer: your not concerened the area is being depleated?
Nestle: tHe sCieNcE DoEs noT ShOW tHaT
DigitalMind right?! Even tho they stated that the computer science did show but nestles people were like nah! Wtf?!
The water level is visibly dropping each month and they’re wanting to say the science doesn’t show any evidence
I may be dumb but I’m not stupid
So sick of hearing the science. Lady shut up
Has thousand of comments opposing them.

“Trust the science! Trust the science! But just our science.”
Billion thanks to this channel AJ+. Keep going to expose the dirt from these greedy corporate companies.
It is interesting that TH-cam makes sure people know the channel is owned in whole or in part by the Qatari government. Do they do this with all other sources or is this just compliance with Saudi demands?
Broccoli Fan there is a supply and demand... what do you expect. You can’t just stop operations completely and lose the supply. It’s a simple but very profitable business.
Broccoli Fan This Terrorist Channel sucks balls.
you guys are just being dumb asses like you pay people to get water running in you house so paying people to give you battled water that is the same thing
Uhhh AJ+ is literally a propaganda outlet for the Qatari royalty LMAO.
Water should be free. Mother Earth gives it away for FREE
So true... and Nestle tries to cover this up with their supposed charity. For example, they have (not sure if they do anymore) consistently sent thousands of bottles of water to Flint, Michigan each day. This may seem like a good thing but when you look at Flint’s population and water needs, that is less than a bottle per person. Nestle is fake and lying to everyone to try and make money off of a free resource that everyone should have
Batman Also, the government is to blame for the problem in Flint, to begin with. It’s manipulation and they are destroying our planet.
Kuhrizma Clemons that is also very true. Many people are just too greedy. They don’t care about ethics or improving people’s lives. All they care about is making as much money as possible. Greed is what makes capitalism bad.
Yes but you still need to treat the water
water is free go to a stream dip a bottle in and bingo
Flint Michigan residents have still NOT received compensation for the water crisis of 2014. Supposedly a $600 million settlement was approved but residents to this day have received nothing!

Spice Weasel the comment is about how the water isn’t actually found on a ice mountain but in a well in the middle of a field. There was nothing to do with plastic...
She was legit speechless when she brought up the trout fishing
I live in the UK, in a country where tap water is completely safe to drink. If you also live there, you know that there's an ever increasing demand for bottled water despite the many alternatives.I understand filtered water solutions such as a Brita can do the job, however you would be impressed by the amount of my friends who still prefer bottled water! And usually those are immigrants or expats who lived in countries where tap water is not safe! They say bottled water is "safer, you know exactly the mineral composition of the water each time, and so it has a great taste". Filtered water should technically enhance the flavor, but it does not recreate premium bottled water, such as Evian or Volvic.
Full disclaimer: I do not work for this company.
Since I live in London, I came across this startup called "Sküma" claiming to recreate and miniaturize the bottled water process, at home from your tap! This seemed interesting since it limits plastic waste and recreates the same purity, mineral composition and taste as other bottled water.
Being an expat myself, I can see this being a viable long-term solution for people with similar background or tap water concerns.
I think i’ve hear about them. Is it www.skumaltd.co.uk ?
I’m honestly curious if their product really delivers on what they advertise
I live in Canada and I use a Brita but I have never changed the filter. When I bought it I never saw a difference and it’s $$ for what it does. I always end up drinking from the tap or bottles. I’m really curious about this product. Do you know if they deliver in Canada?
@@mraspire2222 Yes that's one! It looks like they still have not launched yet. Anyways, I have signed up to their waitlist. Will try to give you an update in a future date.
@@laurafidalgo485 Ha ha! My cousin is in the same situation as you! It seems they will deliver in Canada
Nice! Looking into it
Make sure you guys watch til the end to see my interview with Nestle :)
Hope you enjoyed this season of Direct From looking at water issues around the world!
Dena Takruri heyy dena!:)
need full interview between you and nestle
This was heartbreaking but I loved the way you questioned the Nestle natural resource manager.
vie au paradis thank you for watching it all
Stop buying Nestle, coz govt wont do a thing 🌀
They generate $313k for the city and he claims that its "significant" for the city? Maybe it is and I dont know enough about city budgets, but it doesnt seem that significant to me. My HOA's reserves fluctuate that much in a single year. Thats one development and were talking about an entire city.
Being in a HOA, I would assume you (and your neighbors) aren't under the poverty line. It said the majority of the city is. So I would think there's a big difference where you live and where they live, and how significant that amount of money is.
What does it matter that the ppl are in poverty, they are never gonna split the money over the residents. The money goes to infrastructure for the residents.
Ya HOA must not be doing something right than. That’s a lot to keep putting out yearly
@@KobaCrawls Although you are correct that isnt a proper assumption to make. There are a ton of condos in low income areas.
For a small rural town, it creates a lot of slush money so the local gov't always gives positive PR! Nestle has bought most every major name of water and its bottling source in the USA. Nestle is a power house conglomerate of dominance byying everything from major pet food companies to water. When America wakes up after this globalization craze, we will realize we have been swallowed whole and baited our own hook.
damn good deal . Im just 1 dude and I pay $200 a year for my water and its nowhere near 500gal/min. maybe 1/500th
Get a water purifier to get rid of poverty
While public drinking fountains keep disappearing.
Boycott everything from Nestle, Their CEO doesn't even think water is a human right
MrCorivatt it's not.
Sure Circus boy. Let's give companies the right to tax and charge us for our water. Sounds like a great idea
I know that you frickin frog. Go drink your pond water
Teamototo TV Lol yeah and put in some more of that fluoride for you
Teamototo TV I take kelp that contain iodine everyday and no I don't eat weat. Yes I know about the six companies, that's why I only buy real food.
It will go away when ppl stop buying bottled water
so never
Yeah
👍 Yup! Unfortunately, most people don't trust tap water.
T Stanton white people's greed is destroying the planet
When you drink from an plastic bottle, you drink female hormones, breakdown products from washing powders and pesticides with it. If you want to drink from bottles, then the best option is to drink from glass bottles!
This person is a great journalist very non biased. No smirks or side-eyes. No temperature rise. Simple questions and answers. I need to learn these skills.
Once we're done with the raid in Area 51, we'll raid the Nestle company HQ in Switzerland with all the alien technology we have.
i am sure you will be first in line.
“Once these parts run out of water, Nestle will leave and leave us without it.” This should have been said
"I just looked at the numbers, and we generated 313,000 dollars."
*moment of awkward silence*
"That's actually not that much."
"Of course it- wait, what?"
“It’s a lot because you’re poor”
Saw this comment and thought it was accurate lol but when I hear about how much middle class spends in my area it’s actually not that much.
It means that Mayor gets a raise.

They actually do the same in Africa. The people who work there, bottling the water can't afford more than one bottle a day for themselves 🙄
nestle is sucking water out of the ground everywhere on this planet. disgusting and totally unacceptable.
It's fenced so we can get close to it . . You can get right up to it. The surveyor is like, yep it's just an easement you can literally go and touch it. Lol.
Guessing by the city manager's reaction to when she asked if Nestle bought the town, his response really sais it all. This is such an eye opening video.
It's always amazing to see how little people will sell out for. $330,000 is only about 4 good salaries. And the city sold out its people for that.
Ryan Stallard that's over 10 good jobs.
Not in the US. If you are making less than 50k, your salary is mediocre at best (and that's in a cheap area). 33k is poverty in many (possibly most) urban areas.
not really, as an american i would say Nestle is buying that water for dirt cheap
The girl in blue when ever she uses the letter s or c it's makes a squeek noise lol
That water should be going to the residents of Flint. Nestle should be ashame.
Well, stop buying anything from Nestle and they won't sell
Easy to say , hard to do
Chrispy Bacon Not hard to do. You have so many options. Target sells its water bottles for example and is cheaper than Nestle.
@@tylerdavidson2400 I dont know what kind of things nestle sells in the US but here in Greece they sell the best cereal , they dont own (yet) any water bottling companies , they also sell stuff like baking ingredients etc. but i guess its not that hard just to switch to another brand of bottled water . Thanks for letting me know.
@@tylerdavidson2400 I work in a grocery store check out what other products Nestle sells. Even in your home. Nestle is kind of everywhere.
Mickey jay I know they sell a lot. But atleast in USA, you have so many other options.
Wild idea: how about, instead of buying a new disposable water bottle from a multinational company every time you're thirsty, then just bring a water bottle of your own, and fill it up with regular tap water? You'll save on plastic production, CO2 emissions and money?
lmao try and find non contaminated water, let alone a container without bpa or bps.
Use a non-plastic bottle. It's not rocket science.
Twinkle Toes you. Can use your bottle
Simon Wismann another wild idea, do you know that most countries in Africa and Asia don't have access to pure distilled tap water ? Not saying that you're idea is bad, just saying if we don't help the poor countries to having tap water, it's pretty much useless to write that comment since Nestle sells bottled water mostly to those region who can't get access to pure distilled tap water
I have been to countries where you are not supposed to drink the tap water. But this video is about the US. It seems silly to me if you are in a position where you can drink the water from taps to start buying water. There was a company here in Denmark that wanted to sell bottled water along primary schoolers milk. But discussion made it not happen eventually. When people buy water from Nestle like this, you are obviously not paying for the water. You are paying for the delivery, the water bottling plants, the plastic and indeed the advertisement telling you bottled water is better then tap.
Sorry about the long string of frustration. But I need some procrastinating.
3.20 the top watermark in your video is a pour line from the concrete casing used to pour the bridge. its better visable if you look on the far right
This is so messed up. Thanks for covering this!
Those legs tho
z00y0rker87 This is the real story.
When?
3:14
Hahaha
This guy just said that they charge Nestle $3.50/1000 gal. They pump 500 gal a minute. Quick mafs: At $1/gal Nestle brings in $30K an hour and pays out $105 for that same hour. Lmao how can I get in on this deal?
Jeremy R taste clean?? Dasani??? Man u need to research the water your drinking and what u think is taste clean its most likely artificial flavors
Nestle ceo said water is a privilege not a right ?
And what happens when all these towns dry up and nestle has all the money to fight it ..
Excellent documentary its extremely important to spread awareness. Time to wake up before it's too late!
All about money im sure nestle buys them out to allow them to do whatever they want 💸💸💸💸
well, the science doesn't show environmental changes because it's their science. They can say whatever they want- so they'll only say good things.
Kinda works like Obamas Global Warming "Science" Funny how all the federal billions in grants were only given to green "scientists" who would support his agenda and write papers for it.
Why don't you go to Michigan by yourself and get there a bottle of free water? That's why you have to pay Nestlé.
I will never buy Nestle products ever again!
$313,000... That's huge?!? While Nestle makes billions you get to gnaw on a bone. That city manager is dumber than a box of rocks. I should make a business giving that man a dollar in exchange for 10 dollars back. I bet he would be like "oh it's a dollar, it's huge!".
we all know he gave himself a pay raise
lol it's more like you're a manager in a store, you make $1k and harmonize the workers with $1 each.
88yellowjacket billions total from all their wells. Not just that one.
88yellowjacket no dumb corrupt I think
Nestle woman, please show your science
Anthony Reaney??
It's not real science. It's Nestlé sponsored pseudo-science.
Anthony Reaney legit she could barely answer Dena’s questions
😂😂 I wish Dena would've asked her that but I am sure she would've just shown Nestle sponsored agenda.
what i don't understand is why don't they just take water from some 3-rd world country ? they are starving anyway, so what use do they have for water ?
Thank you this was very helpful and informative 👍👍
this is equal to taking a village's wheat,resources and hay and selling it back to them in minecraft
"ThE sCiEnCe DoEsNt ShOw ThAt"
what science? is there a science on leeching on poor communities? is there a science on devastating Indian reserves? i dont think so.
Thank You! I'm glad someone finally siad what I was thinking!
How did u get that username wtf
The science of the nestle paid scientist duhh!
Is everyone blind? This is more or less an issue because your governments don't care. If I was in Nestle's position I would do the exact same thing.
Yeah im sure they spend millions on lobbying, but look at the underlying cause: your government.
They even said it on the video, Nestle is taking advantage of relaxed legislation.
I am by no means advocation environmental degredation but look at the facts.
Agreed
Correct.
Capitalism *
I disagree, if it's a company run by human beings then should be concerned about what happens to a populace if they do certain things to it.
And you can't just say that lobbying and company-enabled reseearch is just something every company does, that's not good. Those are amoral things to do, especially on a scale like this.
@@invaderg3332 that's fair, but don't tell me you wouldn't do the same thing. Look at any natural resource, there really is no ethical way of taking them. There will always be someone or something negatively impacted.
Dena Takruri is probrobly the finest journalist ive ever seen and listened to. Excuse my shallowness but i couldnt help my vision. A woman who's beautiful not showing off her body for likes and is highly intelligent. We need more of her
At 3:22 that "waterline" (top arrow) on the concrete is actually a construction seam from when they did the concrete pour. It's not an indication of how high the water was. Consider adjusting your arrows so the top arrow is at the bottom arrow waterline, and the bottom arrow is at the current creek waterline.
Davideo101, that makes two of us so far that caught that buffoonery:)
Screw Nestle not drinking their water anymore
Almost every brand of water is owned by Nestle lmfao.
Good move,but y buy in the first place?
jeyanthi prabhu because I like drinking nice water and don’t care about the environment
Max so you like little bits of plastic ay, lol joking I’d take little bits of plastic over little bits of whatever are in the pipes anyday.
@@TigerTT you can go to a water store and buy your water that way. Reusable water containers. Saves a lot of money
Don't worry when the aquifer has been pumped dry they will pack up & leave.
And the locals are left with picking up the trash and scraps of what is left
you can pump as much as you want if it doesn’t deplete the aquifer. Why are they allowed to deplete the aquifer?

But how about adding super environment saving highest purity water which I have available with the means of most efficiently collecting?.
Can't help but notice how fwinneeee she is😂😂😂super fwinne
Lol he knows the town got bought out.
He's probably corrupt which is why he got angry and defensive at being asked if the town was bought out.
Kyle Bennett yep I totally agree with that the city manager probably has a really nice truck and home
you're right, did you see how triggered he got!
And his math is troubling. He said the town receives about 300K from Nestle but to replace the well, it costs about 1 million.
Mysterion South Park your point? He should be poor to be a public servant?? That would cause real corruption
Should be illegal to make billions on something they get for free. Hope nestle catches fire and goes bankrupt
i heard water bottles and transports itself
See, that, I think is on the buyer. If you're stupid enough to buy bottled water, then that's on you.
But yeah, taking chunks of a lake out of a state without paying for it-- that I have a problem with.
That shouldn't be illegal. What should be is what the politicians and bureaucracy did. If virtually all your constituents said no and you did it anyway, democracy failed.
Not if stupid people keep buying the stuff.. "we" are the problem.
Unfortunately they will never go bankrupt. They will just make a new factory in a new city and suck it dry over and over again.
Nestle hires Sub contractors to do their research... sounds exactly like police saying we’re doing an internal investigation. 🤔
That city manager dude has no clue how to do his job. That town should be making MILLIONS of dollars as a year, not $300,000.
I just recently discovered your TH-cam channel and I just love for all the efforts you’ve made to educate the people on what’s going on around the world especially those affecting our environment. Continue the great job!
the same is being done by pepsi and coca cola in India.
Mohamed Haniffa M Y no one care
Chinglang Konyak yep. no one is worried about their own existence.
Mohamed Haniffa M Y Pakistan
Matt 😂 everywhere because of our greed we are loosing our basic rights
Mohamed Haniffa M Y if people from India die and peoples from European or America die is just different, they just don't values human of subcontinent as much as like they value from 1st world white countries
Its like selling air lol. Who would of thought this is what it would come to.
