Hello Everyone,
Thank you very much for your support. I am excited to announce that we will be taking steps to further our campaigning efforts.
We are launching a call-in to the Michigan Department of Enivronmental Quality (MDEQ) from supporters of this petition to share our concerns with Nestle's increased pumping in Michigan. PLEASE call the MDEQ and follow the procedure below and please keep the call polite and to the point, otherwise, the petition loses credibility.
1) Call the following number: (517)-284-6700, which is the number of the Executive Office of the MDEQ. Either leave a message or ask to be connected to Heidi Grether, the MDEQ Director. Read the following script:
"My name is_______________. I am deeply concerned about Nestle’s groundwater pumping practices in Michigan, its sustainability, and its impact on the environment.
I am one of nearly 45,000 people who have signed a petition to urge the State of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to reject Nestle’s current permit application to increase groundwater pumping to 400 gallons per minute from White Pine Springs Well in Osceola County, Michigan.
We request new and more comprehensive environmental impact studies of Nestle’s current and proposed increased water extraction rates on Michigan’s watershed to determine the short-term and long-term effect on creeks, wetlands, streams, species, and the ecosystem.
Water is a public right and is Michigan’s most precious resource. Please help us protect it."
2) In the comments section under this update, let us know how the call went.
Once again, thank you for your continued support. With your help, we can put pressure on the MDEQ to reject Nestle's increased pumping request.
