We Say NO MORE pillaging of our natural springs and our Florida Aquifer from large corporate scams to “steel” for a pittance our public water that’s later sold  to us in dirty plastic bottles. This petition goes directly to Florida’s Governor, senators, and the state house and senate.  

Ginny Springs Florida is one of the most diverse ecosystems on the continent, home to a quarter of all North American turtle species.
It also serves as a source of free, fresh spring water for locals and tourists.
The Santa Fe River that feeds the springs has already been labeled “in recovery” after years of overpumping by another water company called Seven Springs.
Seven Springs took as much as 260,000 gallons of water a day from the springs. Now Nestlé is proposing to take 1.1 million gallons per day.
Environmentalists warn the results will be disastrous for the springs and river and the wildlife and local humans who depend on them. 

"The Santa Fe River is already in decline … there’s not enough water coming out of the aquifer itself to recharge these lovely, amazing springs that are iconic and culturally valued and important for natural systems and habitats,” Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson from the conservation group Our Santa Fe River told The Guardian.

The Florida Water Resources Act declared that all the water in springs, rivers, and lakes is the property of the state, not landowners, but it never set a price on water. That means, Nestlé will be able to take the state’s water for free, according to the Gainesville Sun. Please sign this petition to send a message to Nestlé that we know what they're up to and Floridians are against this atrocious act.   Article source: https://returntonow.net/2019/08/28/nestle-plans-to-plunder-a-million-gallons-a-day-from-floridas-natural-springs/
