Lucas, the bottled water industry is manipulating Congress -- again -- to thwart national parks' efforts to curb pollution.
Last year, hundreds of thousands of people like you called on their Members of Congress to protect our parks from this egregious interference, and it worked! But they're back at it and we need to be louder.
Sign the petition to Congress: stand up to the bottled water industry and support our parks!
Disposable plastic water bottles are a huge source of trash in our national parks. That’s why parks across the country have taken steps to limit sales of bottled water and encourage reusable bottles.
And Big Water's lobbying group (which represents corporations like Nestlé) has been manipulating the Congressional budget process to stop this movement.
They tried last year and we stood up to them, but this year they've been sneakier. They planted language into an appropriations bill that would pad the profits of the bottled water industry at the expense of our parks and the environment. Congress needs to hear from us before the committee discusses the bill next week.
Keep fighting,
