*[Enwl-eng] We’re just a few signatures short of our goal

[ENWL]

            Florida officials are meeting on December 10 to debate whether 
to let Nestlé drain nearly a half-billion gallons a year from a fragile 
natural spring.

            We only need 1,500 more signatures, Vladimir, to reach a 
whopping 110,000 before our petition delivery in two weeks. Will you add 
your name?

            Yes, Nestlé is attacking another small community for its water 
supply. But you have shown time and time again that if we speak out against 
Nestlé, we can win.

            Thanks for all that you do,

            Allison, Angus and the team at SumOfUs

                        Water thief Nestlé is gearing up to plunder a 
community’s crystal blue springs -- all without paying a dime.

                        If Nestlé gets its way, it will pump a million 
gallons a day from Florida’s Ginnie Springs and bottle it in throwaway 
plastic. Tell local water officials to protect their community’s water from 
corporate greed.

            Nestlé is about to suck a fragile spring in Florida dry -- all 
to churn out millions of plastic bottles of water.

            Ginnie Springs is more than a fairytale-beautiful swimming hole. 
Its waters are the lifeblood of the Santa Fe River ecosystem, a haven for 
rare turtle species and a vital source of drinking water.

            Now Nestlé wants to plunder Ginnie Springs’ publicly owned water 
and sell it back to taxpayers for a giant profit, creating mountains of 
single-use plastic in the process.

            And even though Florida has spent huge sums to restore Ginnie 
Springs and the river it feeds, Nestlé gets to drain all that water -- 1.1 
million gallons a day -- without paying a cent to affected communities.

            Right now local water officials are deciding whether to let 
Nestlé suck up the springs. They’re paying close attention to the public's 
growing outrage.

            Local community groups are working tirelessly to protect this 
precious water source, but they need your help to make their demands 
impossible to ignore.

            Tell Florida water officials: Protect Ginnie Springs from Nestlé’s 
greed.

            Every gallon Nestlé plunders in Ginnie Springs is a gallon 
stolen from the region’s fragile rivers and wetlands. Nestlé claims it will 
be a responsible steward of the water -- but you and I know that promise is 
all wet.

            For years, the corporation has been illegally sucking tens of 
millions of gallons from California’s San Bernardino National Forest, even 
through deep droughts. And in Canada, Nestlé is draining First Nations land 
while community members go without water for drinking and bathing.

            We know we can win this. Communities in Oregon, Pennsylvania, 
and Wisconsin have successfully stopped other Nestlé water grabs.

            During a major drought in Ontario, 160,000 SumOfUs members like 
you stopped Nestlé’s profit-driven raid on community water. And last year, 
you raised tens of thousands of dollars to help a small Michigan town fight 
Nestlé’s water greed.

            Don’t let Nestlé pillage community water and churn out more 
plastic garbage. Add your name to protect Ginnie Springs and the ecosystem 
it supports.
