Send a message to the U.S. Forest Service: Stop letting Nestlé suck San Bernardino dry!

https://actions.sumofus.org/a/send-a-message-to-the-u-s-forest-service-stop-letting-nestle-suck-san-bernardino-dry

Despite the fact that California is running out of water, Nestlé continues to suck San Bernardino National Forest dry on a permit that expired 28 years ago....

Under pressure from grassroots activists in California, along with a petition from 284,000 SumOfUs members, the U.S. Forest Service is finally reviewing Nestle’s application to siphon water from the San Bernardino National Forest....

Californians are being asked to cut back on our own water usage for conservation purposes -- and some of us don’t even have reliable access to a clean water supply. Yet Nestlé continues to remove water from the state with little to no oversight, siphoning off nearly 705 million gallons of water per year from California’s water supply....

Nestlé’s expired water permit hasn’t been scrutinized in almost 3 decades. Its water-bottling source, San Bernardino's Strawberry Creek, is now so narrow it can easily be jumped across. This dangerously low flow is likely putting the surrounding environment and critical species at risk.

Hopefully they will get enough messages to influence them to stop Nestle.
